Traveling Waves and Shocks in a Viscoelastic Generalization of Burgers' Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider traveling wave phenomena for a viscoelastic generalization of Burgers’ equation. For asymptotically constant velocity profiles we find three classes of solutions corresponding to smooth traveling waves, piecewise smooth waves, and piecewise constant (shock) solutions. Each solution type is possible for a given pair of asymptotic limits, and we characterize the dynamics in terms of the relaxation time and viscosity.

Traveling Waves of Some Symmetric Planar Flows of Non-Newtonian Fluids
We present some variants of Burgers-type equations for incompressible and isothermal planar flow of viscous non-Newtonian fluids based on the Cross, the Carreau and the power-law rheology models, and on a symmetry assumption on the flow. We numerically solve the associated traveling wave equations by using industrial data and in order to validate the models we prove existence and uniqueness of ...
متن کاملEffects of shear and bulk viscosity on head-on collision of localized waves in high density compact stars
Head on collision of localized waves in cold and dense hadronic matter with and without shear and bulk viscosities is investigated. Non-relativistic dynamics of propagating waves is studied using the hydrodynamics description of the system and suitable equation of state. It will be shown that the localized waves are described by solutions of the Burgers equation. Simulations show that the propa...
متن کاملThe Newell-whitehead-segel Equation for Traveling Waves
An equation to describe nearly 1D traveling-waves patterns is put forward in the form of a dispersive generalization of the Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation. Transverse stability of plane waves is shown to be drastically altered by the dispersion. A necessary transverse Benjamin-Feir stability condition is obtained. If it is met, a quarter of the plane-wave existence band is unstable, while thre...
متن کاملExistence of traveling waves for the nonlocal Burgers equation
We study the equation ut + uux + u − K * u = 0 in the case of an arbitrary K ≥ 0, which is a generalization of a model for radiating gas, in which K(y) = 1 2 e −|y|. Using a monotone iteration scheme argument we establish the existence of traveling waves, which gives a solution to an open question raised by Denis Serre [1].
متن کاملPropagation and quenching in a reactive Burgers-Boussinesq system
We investigate the qualitative behavior of solutions of a Burgers-Boussinesq system – a reaction-diffusion equation coupled via gravity to a Burgers equation – by a combination of numerical, asymptotic and mathematical techniques. Numerical simulations suggest that when the gravity ρ is small the solutions decompose into a traveling wave and an accelerated shock wave moving in opposite directio...
