چکیده

In this paper, we develop, analyze and test a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for solving the Hunter-Saxton (HS) equation which contains nonlinear high order derivatives and its zero-viscosity and zero-dispersion limit. The energy stability for general solutions are proved and numerical simulation results for different types of solutions of the nonlinear HS equation are provided to illustrate the accuracy and capability of the LDG method. The zero-viscosity and zero-dispersion properties of the HS equation are shown in numerical simulation. AMS subject classification: 65M60, 37K10

The Soliton Content of the Camassa–Holm and Hunter–Saxton Equations

The notion of a scalar equation describing pseudo-spherical surfaces is reviewed. It is shown that if an equation admits this structure, the existence of conservation laws, symmetries, and quadratic pseudo-potentials, can be studied by geometrical means. As an application, it is pointed out that the important Camassa–Holm and Hunter–Saxton equations possess features considered to be characteris...

Fractional Burgers equation with nonlinear non-locality: Spectral vanishing viscosity and local discontinuous Galerkin methods

We consider the viscous Burgers equation with a fractional nonlinear term as a model involving non-local nonlinearities in conservation laws, which, surprisingly, has an analytical solution obtained by a fractional extension of the Hopf-Cole transformation. We use this model and its inviscid limit to develop stable spectral and discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods by employing the co...

Effects of Some Thermo-Physical Parameters on Free Convective Heat and Mass Transfer over Vertical Stretching Surface at Absolute Zero

Effects of some thermo-physical parameters on free convective heat and mass transfer over a vertical stretching surface at lowest level of heat energy in the presence of suction is investigated. The viscosity of the fluid is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature and thermal conductivity is assumed constant. A similarity transformation is applied to reduce the governing equations i...
