Global Stabilization of the Navier-Stokes-Voight and the damped nonlinear wave equations by finite number of feedback controllers
In this paper we introduce a finite-parameters feedback control algorithm for
stabilizing solutions of the Navier-Stokes-Voigt equations, the strongly damped
nonlinear wave equations and the nonlinear wave equation with nonlinear damping
term, the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers equation and the KdV-Burgers equation.
This algorithm capitalizes on the fact that such infinite-dimensional
dissipative dynamical systems posses finite-dimensional long-time behavior
which is represented by, for instance, the finitely many determining parameters
of their long-time dynamics, such as determining Fourier modes, determining
volume elements, determining nodes , etc..The algorithm utilizes these finite
parameters in the form of feedback control to stabilize the relevant solutions.
For the sake of clarity, and in order to fix ideas, we focus in this work on
the case of low Fourier modes feedback controller, however, our results and
tools are equally valid for using other feedback controllers employing other
spatial coarse mesh interpolants

Random Attractors for the Stochastic Benjamin-Bona-Mahony Equation on Unbounded Domains
We prove the existence of a compact random attractor for the stochastic
Benjamin-Bona-Mahony Equation defined on an unbounded domain. This random
attractor is invariant and attracts every pulled-back tempered random set under
the forward flow. The asymptotic compactness of the random dynamical system is
established by a tail-estimates method, which shows that the solutions are
uniformly asymptotically small when space and time variables approach infinity.Comment: 37 page
Experimental study of integrable turbulence in shallow water
We analyze a set of bidirectional wave experiments in a linear wave flume of
which some are conducive to integrable turbulence. In all experiments the
wavemaker forcing is sinusoidal and the wave motion is recorded by seven
high-resolution side-looking cameras. The periodic scattering transform is
implemented and power spectral densities computed to discriminate linear wave
motion states from integrable turbulence and soliton gas. Values of the
wavemaker forcing Ursell number and relative amplitude are required to be above
some threshold values for the integral turbulence to occur. Despite the
unavoidable slow damping, soliton gases achieve stationary states because of
the continuous energy input by the wavemaker. The statistical properties are
given in terms of probability density distribution, skewness and kurtosis. The
route to integrable turbulence, by the disorganization of the wavemaker induced
sinusoidal wave motion, depends on the non-linearity of the waves but equally
on the amplitude amplification and reduction due to the wavemaker feedback on
the wave field
Beyond the KdV: post-explosion development
Several threads of the last 25 yearsâ developments in nonlinear wave theory that stem from the classical Kortewegâde Vries (KdV) equation are surveyed. The focus is on various generalizations of the KdV equation which include higher-order nonlinearity, large-scale dispersion, and a nonlocal integral dispersion. We also discuss how relatively simple models can capture strongly nonlinear dynamics and how various modifications of the KdV equation lead to qualitatively new, non-trivial solutions and regimes of evolution observable in the laboratory and in nature. As the main physical example, we choose internal gravity waves in the ocean for which all these models are applicable and have genuine importance. We also briefly outline the authorsâ view of the future development of the chosen lines of nonlinear wave theory
Random attractors for stochastic 2D-Navier-Stokes equations in some unbounded domains
We show that the stochastic flow generated by the Stochastic Navier-Stokes
equations in a 2-dimensional Poincar\'e domain has a unique random attractor.
This result complements a recent result by Brze\'zniak and Li [10] who showed
that the flow is asymptotically compact and generalizes a recent result by
Caraballo et al. [12] who proved existence of a unique pullback attractor for
the time-dependent deterministic Navier-Stokes equations in a 2-dimensional
Poincar\'e domain
Smoothing properties of certain dispersive nonlinear partial differential equations
This thesis is primarily concerned with the smoothing properties of dispersive equations and systems. Smoothing in this context means that the nonlinear part of the solution flow is of higher regularity than the initial data. We establish this property, and some of its consequences, for several equations.
The first part of the thesis studies a periodic coupled Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) system. This system, known as the Majda-Biello system, displays an interesting dependancy on the coupling coefficient α linking the two KdV equations. Our main result is that the nonlinear part of the evolution resides in a smoother space for almost every choice of α. The smoothing index depends on number-theoretic properties of α, which control the behavior of the resonant sets. We then consider the forced and damped version of the system and obtain similar smoothing estimates. These estimates are used to show the existence of a global attractor in the energy space. We also use a modified energy functional to show that when the damping is large, the attractor is trivial.
The next chapter studies the Zakharov and related Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger (KGS) systems on Euclidean spaces. Again, the main result is that the nonlinear part of the solution is smoother than the initial data. The proof relies on a new bilinear Bourgain-space estimate, which is proved using delicate dyadic and angular decompositions of the frequency domain. As an application, we give a simplified proof of the existence of global attractors for the KGS flow in the energy space for dimensions two and three. We also use smoothing in conjunction with a high-low decomposition to show global well-posedness of the KGS evolution on R4 below the energy space for sufficiently small initial data.
In the final portion of the thesis we consider well-posedness and regularity properties of the âgoodâ Boussinesq equation on the half line. We obtain local existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial data in low-regularity spaces. We also establish a smoothing result, obtaining up to half derivative smoothing of the nonlinear term. The results are sharp within the framework of the restricted norm method that we use and match known results on the full line
A Boussinesq-type Model for Waves Generated by Flow over a Bump
Abstract A uniform flow disturbed by a bump is studied. The effect of the disturbance is presented at the surface, generating wave. The wave propagation is modeled into a couple of equations, in terms of the surface elevation and the depth average velocity. The numerical solution of the equations is simulated to observe the propagation, especially for long run time, using a predictor-corrector method. A steady solitary surface profile is obtained for supercritical upstream flow, similarly for subcritical flow but for negative amplitude. In the transient process, more waves are generated but some of them propagates to the left or right, and only one wave remains above the bump. Mathematics Subject Classification: 35C20, 76B07, 76B2
