Hydrodynamics of cold atomic gases in the limit of weak nonlinearity, dispersion and dissipation
Dynamics of interacting cold atomic gases have recently become a focus of
both experimental and theoretical studies. Often cold atom systems show
hydrodynamic behavior and support the propagation of nonlinear dispersive
waves. Although this propagation depends on many details of the system, a great
insight can be obtained in the rather universal limit of weak nonlinearity,
dispersion and dissipation (WNDD). In this limit, using a reductive
perturbation method we map some of the hydrodynamic models relevant to cold
atoms to well known chiral one-dimensional equations such as KdV, Burgers,
KdV-Burgers, and Benjamin-Ono equations. These equations have been thoroughly
studied in literature. The mapping gives us a simple way to make estimates for
original hydrodynamic equations and to study the interplay between
nonlinearity, dissipation and dispersion which are the hallmarks of nonlinear
hydrodynamics.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
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
Finite volume methods for unidirectional dispersive wave models
We extend the framework of the finite volume method to dispersive
unidirectional water wave propagation in one space dimension. In particular we
consider a KdV-BBM type equation. Explicit and IMEX Runge-Kutta type methods
are used for time discretizations. The fully discrete schemes are validated by
direct comparisons to analytic solutions. Invariants conservation properties
are also studied. Main applications include important nonlinear phenomena such
as dispersive shock wave formation, solitary waves and their various
interactions.Comment: 25 pages, 12 figures, 51 references. Other authors papers can be

Finite volume methods for unidirectional dispersive wave model
We extend the framework of the finite volume method to dispersive unidirectional water wave propagation in one space dimension. In particular, we consider a KdV–BBM-type equation. Explicit and implicit–explicit Runge–Kutta-type methods are used for time discretizations. The fully discrete schemes are validated by direct comparisons to analytic solutions. Invariants’ conservation properties are also studied. Main applications include important nonlinear phenomena such as dispersive shock wave formation, solitary waves, and their various interaction
Modulation equations near the Eckhaus boundary: the KdV equation
We are interested in the description of small modulations in time and space
of wave-train solutions to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation \begin{align*}
\partial_T \Psi = (1+ i \alpha) \partial_X^2 \Psi + \Psi - (1+i \beta ) \Psi
|\Psi|^2, \end{align*} near the Eckhaus boundary, that is, when the wave train
is near the threshold of its first instability. Depending on the parameters , a number of modulation equations can be derived, such as
the KdV equation, the Cahn-Hilliard equation, and a family of Ginzburg-Landau
based amplitude equations. Here we establish error estimates showing that the
KdV approximation makes correct predictions in a certain parameter regime. Our
proof is based on energy estimates and exploits the conservation law structure
of the critical mode. In order to improve linear damping we work in spaces of
analytic functions.Comment: 44 pages, 8 figure
