The coupling of accurate computational fluid dynamics analysis with optimal control theory has the potential to advance active flow-control for complex fluid systems. In this paper, an optimal control framework for the viscous Burgers equation is constructed based on the Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM). A DGM discretization has several potential advantages for optimization studies including...

in this article we discussed the numerical solution of Burgers’ equation using multigrid method. We used implicit method for time discritization and Crank-Nicolson scheme for space discritization for fully discrete scheme. For improvement we used Multigrid method in fully discrete solution. And also Multigrid method accelerates convergence of a basics iterative method by global correction. Nume...

Salas, Gomez and Heranańdez [A.Y. Salas S., C.A. Gomez S., J.E.C Hernańdez, New abundant solutions for tha Burgers equation, Computers and Mathematics with Applications 58 (2009) 514 -520] presented 70 ”new exact solutions” of a ”generalized version” of the Burgers equation. In this comment we show that all 70 solutions by these authors are not new and cannot be new. PACS: 02.30.Jr Ordinary dif...

Statistical properties of the noisy Burgers and KdV-Burgers equations are numerically studied. It is found that shock-like structures appear in the timeaveraged patterns for the case of stepwise fixed boundary conditions. Our results show that the shock structure for the noisy KdV-Burgers equation has an oscillating tail, even for the time averaged pattern. Also, we find that the width of the s...

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...

Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya–Kuznetsov equation (φt + φφx − αφxx)x − 1/2(φyy + φzz) = 0 and its solutions are analyzed. A series of complete exact analytical solutions related to the one-dimensional and vectorial inhomogeneous Burgers equation are presented. A concrete example which corresponds to a special form of the inhomogeneous term is analyzed. Reduction to the traveling wave solution is conside...

This paper investigates different high order finite difference schemes and their accuracy for Burgers equation and Navier-Stokes equations. On a coarse grid, theoretical and numerical analysis indicate that a higher order difference scheme does not necessarily obtain more accurate solutions than a lower order scheme in the regions of high gradient variation (2nd order derivative). On a coarse g...
