Viscous Shocks in the Destabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study stationary periodic solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) model for complex spatiotemporal dynamics in the presence of an additional linear destabilizing term. In particular, we show the phase space origins of the previously observed stationary “viscous shocks” and related solutions. These arise in a reversible four-dimensional dynamical system as perturbed heteroclinic connections whose tails are joined through a reinjection mechanism due to the linear term. We present numerical evidence that the transition to the KS limit contains a rich bifurcation structure even within the class of stationary reversible solutions.

Exact Solutions of the Generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation
In this paper we obtain exact solutions of the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, which describes manyphysical processes in motion of turbulence and other unstable process systems. The methods used to determine the exact solutions of the underlying equation are the Lie group analysis and the simplest equation method. The solutions obtained are then plotted.
متن کاملFixed points of a destabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation
We consider the family of destabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations in one spatial dimension ut + νuxxxx + βuxx + γuux = αu for α,ν ≥ 0 and β ,γ ∈ R. For certain parameter values, shock-like stationary solutions have been numerically observed. In this work we verify the existence of several such solutions using the framework of self-consistent bounds and validated numerics.
متن کاملOptimal Parameter-dependent Bounds for Kuramoto-sivashinsky-type Equations
We derive a priori estimates on the absorbing ball in L2 for the stabilized and destabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equations, and for a sixth-order analog, the Nikolaevskiy equation, and in each case obtain bounds whose parameter dependence is demonstrably optimal. This is done by extending a Lyapunov function construction developed by Bronski and Gambill (Nonlinearity 19, 2023–2039 (2006))...
متن کاملTrajectory and Attractor Convergence for a Nonlocal Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation
The nonlocal Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation arises in the modeling of the flow of a thin film of viscous liquid falling down an inclined plane, subject to an applied electric field. In this paper, the authors show that, as the coefficient of the nonlocal integral term goes to zero, the solution trajectories and the maximal attractor of the nonlocal Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation converge to those...
متن کاملHydrothermal Surface-wave Instability and the Kuramoto-sivashinsky Equation
We consider a system formed by an infinite viscous liquid layer with a constant horizontal temperature gradient, and a basic nonlinear bulk velocity profile. In the limit of long-wavelength and large nondimensional surface tension, we show that hydrothermal surface-wave instabilities may give rise to disturbances governed by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. A possible connection to hot-wire e...
