Higher-order accurate finite-difference schemes for solving the unsteady Burgers’ equation which often arises in mathematical modeling used to solve problems in fluid dynamics are presented. The unsteady Burgers’ equation belongs to a few nonlinear partial differential equations which has an exact solution, and it allows one to compare the numerical solution with the exact one, and the properti...

Aspects of the stochastic Burgers equation and their connection with turbulence. Summary. We present results for the 1 dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation when the spatial range of the forcing varies. As the range of forcing moves from small scales to large scales, the system goes from a chaotic, structureless state to a structured state dominated by shocks. This transition takes...

A photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar cell is being developed for an energy conversion efficiency higher than the Shockley-Queisser limit, consisting of two junctions with different bandgaps operating on top of a thermal collector at 450 C under solar radiation focused by a concentrator. InxGa1-xN thin films are used due to their wide bandgap range and their stability at high temperatures. The ta...

We study the scalar conservation law with a noisy non-linear source, viz., ut +f(u)x = h(u; x; t) + g(u)W (t), where W (t) is white noise in the time variable, and we analyse the Cauchy problem for this equation where the initial data are assumed to be deterministic. A method is proposed to construct approximate weak solutions, and we then show that this yields a convergent sequence. This seque...

In this study, the D-optimal mixture design methodology was applied to determine the optimised proportions of inulin, β-glucan and breadcrumbs in formulation of low-fat beef burgers containing pre-emulsified canola and olive oil blend. Also, the effect of each of the ingredients individually as well as their interactions on cooking characteristics, texture, colour and sensory properties of low-...

This paper discusses the application of orthogonal collocation on finite elements (OCFE) method using quadratic and cubic B-spline basis functions partial differential equations. Collocation is performed at Gaussian points to obtain an optimal solution, hence name collocation. The used solve various cases Burgers’ equations, including modified equation. KdV–Burgers’ equation considered as a tes...

The dynamics of randomly forced Burgers and Euler-Lagrange equations in S 1 × R d−1 in the case when there is only one one-sided minimizer in a compact subset of S 1 × R d−1 is studied. The existence of random invariant periodic minimizer orbits and periodicity of the stationary solution of the stochastic Burgers equations are obtained.

We generelize the Polyakov’s approach for Burgers turbulence in higher dimensions. In this respect, we write the operator product expansion and find the exact two–point functions of the Burgers equation in two and three–dimensions. We show that the angular dependence of the correlation functions satisfy the same equation, which is found in the instanton approach. PACS numbers 47.27.AK, 47.27.Jv

In this paper, numerical solution for the generalized Rosenau-Burgers equation is considered and Crank-Nicolson finite difference scheme is proposed. Existence of the solutions for the difference scheme has been shown. Stability, convergence and priori error estimate of the scheme are proved. Numerical results demonstrate that the scheme is efficient and reliable. Keywords—Generalized Rosenau-B...

We have studied the phase dynamics in an oscillatory chemical system (Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction). The phase distribution and isophase lines in the 2D phase space were reconstructed. The dynamics proved to be well described in terms of the Burgers equation. The phase dependence of the coefficients of the equation was taken into account to estimate the region of the applicability of the Burge...
