Effective potential and geodesic motion in Kerr-de Sitter space-time
In the present work, geodesic trajectories in Kerr-de Sitter geometry is
analyzed. From the mathematical solution of Lagrangian formalism appropriate to
motions in the equatorial plane (for which 'theta' = 0 and 'theta' =
(constant)= pi/2) can give potential energy of massive and massless particles
for rotating axisymetric black hole. From this, for a particular value of
cosmological constant, Kerr parameter, mass, angular momentum and impact
parameter; variation of potential with distance can be found. Similarly, for a
particular value of cosmological constant, mass and Kerr parameter; variation
of velocity with distance can be found
Solitary waves, periodic and elliptic solutions to the Benjamin, Bona & Mahony (BBM) equation modified by viscosity
In this paper, we use a traveling wave reduction or a so-called spatial
approximation to comprehensively investigate periodic and solitary wave
solutions of the modified Benjamin, Bona & Mahony equation (BBM) to include
both dissipative and dispersive effects of viscous boundary layers. Under
certain circumstances that depend on the traveling wave velocity, classes of
periodic and solitary wave like solutions are obtained in terms of Jacobi
elliptic functions. An ad-hoc theory based on the dissipative term is
presented, in which we have found a set of solutions in terms of an implicit
function. Using dynamical systems theory we prove that the solutions of
\eqref{BBMv} experience a transcritical bifurcation for a certain velocity of
the traveling wave. Finally, we present qualitative numerical results.Comment: 14 pages, 11 figure
Numerical Simulations of Snake Dissipative Solitons in Complex Cubic-Quintic Ginzburg-Landau Equation
Numerical simulations of the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation (CCQGLE), a canonical equation governing the weakly nonlinear behavior of dissipative systems in a wide variety of disciplines, reveal five entirely novel classes of pulse or solitary waves solutions, viz. pulsating, creeping, snaking, erupting, and chaotical solitons. Here, we develop a theoretical framework for analyzing the full spatio-temporal structure of one class of dissipative solution (snaking soliton) of the CCQGLE using the variational approximation technique and the dynamical systems theory. The qualitative behavior of the snaking soliton is investigated using the numerical simulations of (a) the full nonlinear complex partial differential equation and (b) a system of three ordinary differential equations resulting from the variational approximation
Weierstrass Traveling Wave Solutions for Dissipative Benjamin, Bona, and Mahoney (BBM) Equation
In this paper the effect of a small dissipation on waves is included to find exact solutions to the modified Benjamin, Bona, and Mahony (BBM) equation by viscosity. Using Lyapunov functions and dynamical systems theory, we prove that when viscosity is added to the BBM equation, in certain regions there still exist bounded traveling wave solutions in the form of solitary waves, periodic, and elliptic functions. By using the canonical form of Abel equation, the polynomial Appell invariant makes the equation integrable in terms of Weierstrass ℘ functions. We will use a general formalism based on Ince\u27s transformation to write the general solution of dissipative BBM in terms of ℘ functions, from which all the other known solutions can be obtained via simplifying assumptions. Using ODE (ordinary differential equations) analysis we show that the traveling wave speed is a bifurcationparameter that makes transition between different classes of waves
Interactions and Focusing of Nonlinear Water Waves
A theoretical and computational study is undertaken for the modulational instabilities of a pair of nonlinearly interacting two-dimensional waves in deep water. It has been shown that the full dynamics of these interacting waves gives rise to localized large-amplitude wavepackets (wave focusing). The coupled cubic nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations are used to derive a nonlinear dispersion equation which give rise to new class of modulational instabilities and demonstrates the dependence of obliqueness of the interacting waves. The computations, due to nonlinear wave-wave interactions, waves that are separately modulationally stable can give rise to the formation of large-amplitude coherent wave packets with amplitudes several times that of the initial waves. In the case for the original Benjamin-Feir instability, in constrast, waves disintegrate into a wide spectrum
