Undular bore theory for the modified Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation.

We consider nonlinear wave structures described by the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, taking into account a small Burgers viscosity for the case of steplike initial conditions. The Whitham modulation equationsare derived, which include the small viscosity as a perturbation. It is shown that for a long enough time of evolution, this small perturbation leads to the stabilization of cnoidal bores, and their main characteristics are obtained. The applicability conditions of this approach are discussed. Analytical theory is compared with numerical solutions and good agreement is found.

On the Multistage Differential Transformation Method for Analyzing Damping Duffing Oscillator and Its Applications to Plasma Physics

The multistage differential transformation method (MSDTM) is used to find an approximate solution to the forced damping Duffing equation (FDDE). In this paper, we prove that the MSDTM can predict the solution in the long domain as compared to differential transformation method (DTM) and more accurately than the modified differential transformation method (MDTM). In addition, the maximum residual errors for DTM and its modification methods (MSDTM and MDTM) are estimated. As a real application to the obtained solution, we investigate the oscillations in a complex unmagnetized plasma. To do that, the fluid govern equations of plasma species is reduced to the modified Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (mKdVB) equation. After that, by using a suitable transformation, the mKdVB equation is transformed into the forced damping Duffing equation.

Shock waves in magnetized plasmas with superthermal trapped electrons.

Formation of ion-acoustic shock waves (IAShWs) and their propagation nature in a magnetized plasma in the presence of superthermal trapped electrons are investigated for the first time via the fluid dynamical approach. A magnetized plasma system, comprising of inertial ions and non-inertial electrons following κ-superthermal trapped distribution, is considered to examine the basic features (amplitude, width, phase speed, etc.) of IAShWs in such a plasma. A diffusion effect (due to the ion kinematic viscosity) is taken into account. The reductive perturbation technique is adopted to derive the modified Korteweg de-Vries Burgers’ (mKdVB) equation and the solution of mKdVB equation (derived by adopting the tangent hyperbolic method) is used to investigate the dynamical and structural characteristics (speed, amplitude, width, etc.) of IAShWs. The influence of relevant plasma (configuration) parameters (e.g., the superthermality index κ, concentration of trapped electrons, external magnetic field, and obliquity angle, etc.) on the nature of IAShWs is examined. The applications of the results in space and laboratory plasma environments, where nonthermal trapped electrons are available, are briefly discussed.

On the approximate solutions to a damped harmonic oscillator with higher-order nonlinearities and its application to plasma physics: semi-analytical solution and moving boundary method

In this paper, a strongly nonlinear oscillator equation with higher-order nonlinear (cubic) restoring force, namely damped Duffing equation with higher-order nonlinearities, has been solved and analyzed analytically and numerically using some effectiveness and high-accuracy methods. Firstly, the physical oscillator system consisting of a spring–mass moves under cubic resorting force with constant spring is considered for getting damped Duffing equation. After that a semi-analytical solution is obtained in terms of the Jacobian elliptic function cn. Also, the numerical approximate solution using Runge–Kutta-4th (RK4) procedure is carried out and compared to the semi-analytical solution. It is found that the agreement between both solutions is very good especially if the coefficient of the cubic nonlinear term becomes larger than the coefficient of the linear one. However, we made some improvements to the semi-analytical solution using the numerical moving boundary method to get higher accuracy solution. Furthermore, the error analysis is estimated for both the semi-analytical solution, improved semi-analytical solution, and RK4 solution. The method that is used for getting the semi-analytical solution is elementary, i.e., allows to obtain only integrable case without using any Lie group theory. In another meaning, our approach gives exact/analytical solution for the integrable case such as undamped Duffing equation. Moreover, the t-intercepts and amplitude points are estimated precisely. Furthermore, the plasma oscillations are discussed in the framework of damped Duffing equation. Firstly, we reduced the fluid basic equations of pair-ion plasmas with Maxwellian electrons using reductive perturbation technique to a modified korteweg de-Vries Burgers (mKdVB) equation, and by using traveling wave transformation the mKdVB equation is converted to the damped Duffing equation. After that we compared between all mentioned solutions using plasma parameters.

Shock wave generation in plasmas at varying magnetic field

By considering the continuity, the Navier-Stokes and Poisson's equations in a nonrelativistic framework for plasmas, we study the behavior of small amplitude ion acoustic solitary waves in plasmas under the influence of a varying magnetic field. The result is a nonlinear wave equation which complies with the modified Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation, surprisingly in the absence of thermal pressure or any dissipative effects. We show that the complete set of equations, by considering the varying magnetic field, creates solitary waves which radiate energy during their travel in the medium. An interesting result is the existence of small amplitude localized shock profiles beside the solitary waves. Properties of this solitaire solution are studied by considering different values for the environmental characters.

Bifurcation analysis for ion acoustic waves in a strongly coupled plasma including trapped electrons

The nonlinear ion acoustic wave propagation in a strongly coupled plasma composed of ions and trapped electrons has been investigated. The reductive perturbation method is employed to derive a modified Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (mKdV–Burgers) equation. To solve this equation in case of dissipative system, the tangent hyperbolic method is used, and a shock wave solution is obtained. Numerical investigations show that, the ion acoustic waves are significantly modified by the effect of polarization force, the trapped electrons and the viscosity coefficients. Applying the bifurcation theory to the dynamical system of the derived mKdV–Burgers equation, the phase portraits of the traveling wave solutions of both of dissipative and non-dissipative systems are analyzed. The present results could be helpful for a better understanding of the waves nonlinear propagation in a strongly coupled plasma, which can be produced by photoionizing laser-cooled and trapped electrons [1], and also in neutron stars or white dwarfs interior.

Nonlinear dust ion acoustic waves behaviors analysis in warm viscous dusty plasma with trapped ions

The nonlinear excitation of a dust ion acoustic (DIA) wave packet in a viscous dusty plasma consisting of Boltzmann distributed electrons, trapped ions, and variable charged dust is investigated. The dependence of the damping rate of the waves on the plasma parameters is discussed via the linear stability analysis. The standard reductive perturbation method is employed to derive the modified Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation due to an interplay among the nonlinearity, dispersion, and dissipation effects, and, the non-dissipative case gives the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. Bifurcation analysis is discussed for the non-dissipative and dissipative systems assuming a Boltzmann distribution for electrons and a vortex-like distribution for ions. The effects of plasma parameters, among which the dusty plasma viscosity ν, trapping ion parameter β, and dust charge variation γ1 on solitary waves (SWs) and shock wave solutions, are discussed. It is observed that parameters ν and β significantly influence the characteristics of nonlinear dust ion acoustic solitary structures. It is seen that without viscosity (ν = 0), the system has the DIA solitary wave solutions, whereas, the viscous system supports DIA shock waves. By increasing the kinematic viscosity, the opportunity for formation of higher energy shock solitary waves increases and the solitary waves become monotonic shock waves.

Characteristics of dust acoustic waves in dissipative dusty plasma in the presence of trapped electrons

The formation and propagation of nonlinear dust acoustic waves (DAWs) as solitary and solitary/shock waves in an unmagnetized, homogeneous, dissipative and collisionless dusty plasma comprising negatively charged micron sized dust grains in the presence of free and trapped electrons with singly charged non-thermal positive ions is discussed in detail. The evolution characteristics of the solitary and shock waves are studied by deriving a modified Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (mKdV–Burgers) equation using the reductive perturbation method. The mKdV–Burgers equation is solved considering the presence (absence) of dissipation. In the absence of dissipation the system admits a solitary wave solution, whereas in the presence of dissipation the system admits shock waves (both monotonic and oscillatory) as well as a combination of solitary and shock wave solutions. Standard methods of solving the evolution equation of shock (solitary) waves are used. The results are discussed numerically using standard values of plasma parameters. The findings may be useful for better understanding of formation and propagation of waves in astrophysical plasma.

Nonlinear coherent structures of Alfvén wave in a collisional plasma

The Alfvén wave dynamics is investigated in the framework of two-fluid approach in a compressible collisional magnetized plasma. In the finite amplitude limit, the dynamics of the nonlinear Alfvén wave is found to be governed by a modified Korteweg-de Vries Burgers equation (mKdVB). In this mKdVB equation, the electron inertia is found to act as a source of dispersion, and the electron-ion collision serves as a dissipation. The collisional dissipation is eventually responsible for the Burgers term in mKdVB equation. In the long wavelength limit, this weakly nonlinear Alfvén wave is shown to be governed by a damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Furthermore, these nonlinear equations are analyzed by means of analytical calculation and numerical simulation to elucidate the various aspects of the phase-space dynamics of the nonlinear wave. Results reveal that nonlinear Alfvén wave exhibits the dissipation mediated shock, envelope, and breather like structures. Numerical simulations also predict the formation of dissipative Alfvénic rogue wave, giant breathers, and rogue wave holes. These results are discussed in the context of the space plasma.

Global unsolvability of one-dimensional problems for Burgers-type equations

In this paper, we study the global solvability of well-known equations used to describe nonlinear processes with dissipation, namely, the Burgers equation, the Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation, and the modified Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation. Using a method due to Pokhozhaev, we obtain necessary conditions for the blow-up of global solutions and estimates of the blow-up time and blow-up rate in bounded and unbounded domains. We also study the effect of linear and nonlinear viscosity on the occurrence of a gradient catastrophe in finite time.

Linear and nonlinear analysis of dust acoustic waves in dissipative space dusty plasmas with trapped ions

The propagation of linear and nonlinear dust acoustic waves in a homogeneous unmagnetized, collisionless and dissipative dusty plasma consisted of extremely massive, micron-sized, negative dust grains has been investigated. The Boltzmann distribution is suggested for electrons whereas vortex-like distribution for ions. In the linear analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained, and the dependence of damping rate of the waves on the carrier wave number \(k\), the dust kinematic viscosity coefficient \(\eta _{d}\) and the ratio of the ions to the electrons temperatures \(\sigma _{i}\) is discussed. In the nonlinear analysis, the modified Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (mKdV–Burgers) equation is derived via the reductive perturbation method. Bifurcation analysis is discussed for non-dissipative system in the absence of Burgers term. In the case of dissipative system, the tangent hyperbolic method is used to solve mKdV–Burgers equation, and yield the shock wave solution. The obtained results may be helpful in better understanding of waves propagation in the astrophysical plasmas as well as in inertial confinement fusion laboratory plasmas.

Study of nonlinear electron-acoustic solitary and shock waves in a dissipative, nonplanar space plasma with superthermal hot electrons

With the consideration of the superthermal electron distribution, we present a theoretical investigation about the nonlinear propagation of electron-acoustic solitary and shock waves in a dissipative, nonplanar non-Maxwellian plasma comprised of cold electrons, superthermal hot electrons, and stationary ions. The reductive perturbation technique is used to obtain a modified Korteweg-de Vries Burgers equation for nonlinear waves in this plasma. We discuss the effects of various plasma parameters on the time evolution of nonplanar solitary waves, the profile of shock waves, and the nonlinear structure induced by the collision between planar solitary waves. It is found that these parameters have significant effects on the properties of nonlinear waves and collision-induced nonlinear structure.

Nonlinear electrostatic coherent structures: solitary and shock waves in a dissipative, nonplanar multi-component quantum plasma

The nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves in a dissipative, nonplanar quantum plasma comprised of electrons, positrons, and ions are studied. A modified Korteweg-de Vries Burgers equation is derived in the limit of low frequency and long wavelength by taking into account the kinematic viscosity among the plasma constituents. It is shown that this plasma system supports the propagation of both compressive and rarefactive nonlinear waves. The effects of variation of various plasma parameters on the time evolution of nonplanar solitary waves, the profile of shock waves, and the nonlinear structure induced by the collision of solitary waves are discussed. It is found that these parameters have significant effects on the properties of nonlinear waves in cylindrical and spherical geometries, and these effects for compressive and rarefactive nonlinear waves are obviously different.

PAINLEVÉ TEST AND SOME EXACT SOLUTIONS FOR (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL MODIFIED KORTEWEG–DE VRIES–BURGERS EQUATION

In this paper, we investigate the solitary wave solutions for the two-dimensional modified Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (mKdV-B) equation in shallow water model. Despite that Painlevé test fails to prove the integrability of the mKdV-B equation by using the WTC-Kruskal algorithm, the Bäcklund transformation is obtained via the truncation expansion. The exact solutions of the mKdV-B equation are found using factorization techniques, Exp-function and energy integral approach of the corresponding ordinary differential equation. We found that the dispersion relation of the linearized mKdV-B equation lies on the complex plane yielding a damping character. By keeping the water height relatively small, we illustrate the resulting solutions in several figures showing the shock and solitary wave nature in the flow. The stability for the mKdV-B equation is analyzed by using the phase plane method.

Two level finite difference scheme is used with the help of Runge Kutta method to simulate the mKdVB. It is noticed that positron concentration, spectral indices of electrons and positrons, kinematic viscosity of ions significantly modifies the strength of shocks in cylindrical and spherical geometries.
