A Review on Higher Order Spline Techniques for Solving Burgers Equation using B-Spline methods and Variation of B-Spline Techniques

This is a summary of articles based on higher order B-splines methods and the variation of B-spline methods such as Quadratic B-spline Finite Elements Method, Exponential Cubic B-Spline Method Septic B-spline Technique, Quintic B-spline Galerkin Method, and B-spline Galerkin Method based on the Quadratic B-spline Galerkin method (QBGM) and Cubic B-spline Galerkin method (CBGM). In this paper we study the B-spline methods and variations of B-spline techniques to find a numerical solution to the Burgers' equation. A set of fundamental definitions including Burgers equation, spline functions, and B-spline functions are provided. For each method, the main technique is discussed as well as the discretization and stability analysis. A summary of the numerical results is provided and the efficiency of each method presented is discussed. A general conclusion is provided where we look at a comparison between the computational results of all the presented schemes. We describe the effectiveness and advantages of these method

High-order numerical solutions using cubic splines

The cubic spline collocation procedure for the numerical solution of partial differential equations was reformulated so that the accuracy of the second-derivative approximation is improved and parallels that previously obtained for lower derivative terms. The final result is a numerical procedure having overall third-order accuracy for a nonuniform mesh and overall fourth-order accuracy for a uniform mesh. Application of the technique was made to the Burger's equation, to the flow around a linear corner, to the potential flow over a circular cylinder, and to boundary layer problems. The results confirmed the higher-order accuracy of the spline method and suggest that accurate solutions for more practical flow problems can be obtained with relatively coarse nonuniform meshes

Extended modified cubic B-spline algorithm for nonlinear Burgers' equation

AbstractIn this paper, an extended modified cubic B-Spline differential quadrature method is proposed to approximate the solution of the nonlinear Burgers' equation. The proposed method is used in space and a five-stage and four order strong stability-preserving time-stepping Runge–Kutta (SSP-RK54) method is used in time. The accuracy and efficiency of the method is illustrated by considering four numerical problems. The numerical results of the method are compared with some existing methods and it was found that the proposed numerical method produces acceptable results and even more accurate results in comparison with some existing methods. The stability analysis of the scheme is also carried out and was found to be unconditionally stable

Influence of post-cyclic loading on hemic peat

Construction on peat soils has proven to be a challenging task to civil engineers since this soil type has a significant issue that arises from common problems construction of roads, housing and embankment construction with regard to peat are stability, settlements and major problems were encountered especially on deep peat. For many years, in road design as an example, static loading method was applied in road designed by considering soil shear strength through static load and do not take into account the vehicular dynamic loading and shear strength thereafter. This fact is related to the shear strength of peat soil after dynamically loaded. The aim of this research is to establish the post-cyclic behaviour of peat soil after cyclically loaded and to assess the effect of parameters changes on static and post-cyclic behaviour of peat soil. 200 specimens are tested, and prepared under consolidated undrained triaxial with effective stresses at 25kPa, 50 kPa, and 100 kPa with different location from Parit Nipah, Johor, Parit Sulong, Batu Pahat, Johor and Beaufort, Sabah. These specimens tested using GDS Enterprise Level Dynamic Triaxial Testing System (ELDYN) apparatus. Whereas, dynamic load tests are carried out in different frequencies to simulate the loading type such as vibration of machineries, wind, traffic load and earthquake in field from 1.0 Hz, 2.0 Hz and 3.0 Hz with 100 numbers of loading cycles. Post-cyclic monotonic shear strength results and then compared to the static monotonic results. Significantly, showed some vital changes that leads to the changes of stress-strain behaviour. Apparently, the result shows that post-cyclic shear strength decreases with the increase of frequencies. Prior to critical yield strain level, the peat specimen experience a significant deformation. The deformation of peats triggers changes in soil structures that causes reduction in stress-strain behaviour. Thus, it can be concluded that the stress-strain behaviour of peat soil decreased after 100 numbers of cyclic loading in post-cyclic test as compared to the static tests, and it decreased substantially when frequencies were applied. The post-cyclic specimen had a lower undrained parameters than did the static. Reduction of cohesion value in postcylic compared to static almost 70% and reduction of friction angle is about 46.34%

Theoretical and computational structures on solitary wave solutions of Benjamin Bona Mahony-Burgers equation

This paper aims to obtain exact and numerical solutions of the nonlinear Benjamin Bona Mahony-Burgers (BBM-Burgers) equation. Here, we propose the modi ed Kudryashov method for getting the exact traveling wave solutions of BBM-Burgers equation and a septic B-spline collocation nite element method for numerical investigations. The numerical method is validated by studying solitary wave motion. Linear stability analysis of the numerical scheme is done with Fourier method based on von-Neumann theory. To show suitability and robustness of the new numerical algorithm, error norms L2, L1 and three invariants I1; I2 and I3 are calculated and obtained results are given both numerically and graphically. The obtained results state that our exact and numerical schemes ensure evident and they are penetrative mathematical instruments for solving nonlinear evolution equation
