Abstract

Purpose

The main aim of the paper is to develop a new B-splines collocation algorithm based on modified cubic trigonometric B-spline functions to find approximate solutions of nonlinear parabolic Burgers’-type equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Design/methodology/approach

A modification is made in cubic trigonometric B-spline functions to handle the Dirichlet boundary conditions and an algorithm is developed with the help of modified cubic trigonometric B-spline functions. The proposed algorithm reduced the Burgers’ equations into a system of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations in time variable. Then, strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta 3rd order (SSP-RK3) scheme is used to solve the obtained system.

Findings

A different technique based on modified cubic trigonometric B-spline functions is proposed which is quite different from to the schemes developed in Abbas et al. (2014) and Nazir et al. (2016), and the developed algorithms are free from linearization process and finite difference operators.

Originality/value

To the best knowledge of the authors, this technique is novel for solving nonlinear partial differential equations, and the new proposed technique gives better results than the results discussed in Ozis et al. (2003), Kutluay et al. (1999), Khater et al. (2008), Korkmaz and Dag (2011), Kutluay et al. (2004), Rashidi et al. (2009), Mittal and Jain (2012), Mittal and Jiwari (2012), Mittal and Tripathi (2014), Xie et al. (2008) and Kadalbajoo et al. (2005).

This paper aims to find the numerical solution of planar and non-planar Burgers’ equation and analysis of the shock behave.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to find the numerical solution of planar and non-planar Burgers’ equation and analysis of the shock behave.

Design/methodology/approach

First, the authors discritize the time-dependent term using Crank–Nicholson finite difference approximation and use quasilinearization to linearize the nonlinear term then apply Scale-2 Haar wavelets for space integration. After applying this scheme on partial differential, the equation transforms into a system of algebraic equation. Then, the system of equation is solved using Gauss elimination method.

Findings

Present method is the extension of the method (Jiwari, 2012). The numerical solutions using Scale-2 Haar wavelets prove that the proposed method is reliable for planar and non-planar nonlinear Burgers’ equation and yields results better than other methods and compatible with the exact solutions.

Originality/value

The numerical results for non-planar Burgers’ equation are very sparse. In the present paper, the authors identify where the shock wave and discontinuity occur in planar and non-planar Burgers’' equation.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to deal with two-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Falkner–Skan boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid over a permeable wall in the presence of a magnetic field.

Design/methodology/approach

Using the Lie group approach, the Lie algebra of infinitesimal generators of equivalence transformations is constructed for the equation under consideration. Using these suitable similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations are reduced to linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Further, Haar wavelet approach is applied to the reduced ODE under the subalgebra 4.1 for constructing numerical solutions of the flow problem.

Findings

A new type of solutions was obtained of the MHD Falkner–Skan boundary layer flow problem using the Haar wavelet quasilinearization approach via Lie symmetric analysis.

Originality/value

To find a solution for the MHD Falkner–Skan boundary layer flow problem using the Haar wavelet quasilinearization approach via Lie symmetric analysis is a new approach for fluid problems.

Abstract

Purpose

The main purpose of this work is the development of a numerical algorithm based on modified cubic trigonometric B-spline functions for computational modelling of hyperbolic-type wave equations. These types of equations describe a variety of physical models in the vibrations of structures, nonlinear optics, quantum field theory and solid-state physics, etc.

Design/methodology/approach

Dirichlet boundary conditions cannot be handled easily by cubic trigonometric B-spline functions. Then, a modification is made in cubic trigonometric B-spline functions to handle the Dirichlet boundary conditions and a numerical algorithm is developed. The proposed algorithm reduced the hyperbolic-type wave equations into a system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in time variable. Then, stability-preserving SSP-RK54 scheme and the Thomas algorithm are used to solve the obtained system. The stability of the algorithm is also discussed.

Findings

A different technique based on modified cubic trigonometric B-spline functions is proposed which is quite different from the schemes developed (Abbas et al., 2014; Nazir et al., 2016) and depicts the computational modelling of hyperbolic-type wave equations.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this technique is novel for solving hyperbolic-type wave equations and the developed algorithm is free from quasi-linearization process and finite difference operators for time derivatives. This algorithm gives better results than the results discussed in literature (Dehghan and Shokri, 2008; Batiha et al., 2007; Mittal and Bhatia, 2013; Jiwari, 2015).

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to traitted the combined effects of ferromagnetic particles and magnetic field on mixed convection in the Falkner Skan equation using analytical solution by the Duan–Rach method.

Design/methodology/approach

Visualization and grouping of effects of various physical parameters such as electrical conductivity of ferro-particles (electrical conductivity calculated using Maxwell model), ferro fluid volume fraction for Magnetite-Fe3O4-water and magnetic field represented by the Hartmann number in a set of third- and second-order nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations. This set of equations is analytically processed using the Duan–Rach Approach (DRA).

Findings

Obtained DRA results are validated using a numerical solution (Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg-based shooting method). The main objective of this research is to analyze the influence of physical parameters, in particular electrical conductivity, Ferrofluid volume fraction in the case of Magnetite-Fe3O4-water, in addition to the types of solid nanoparticles and Hartmann number on dynamic and thermal distributions (velocity/temperature). Results of the comparison between the numerical solution (Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg-based shooting method) and the analytical solution (DRA) show that the DRA data are in good agreement with numerical data and available literature.

Originality/value

The study uses Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg-based shooting method) and the analytical solution (DRA) to investigate the effect of mixed convection, in the presence of Ferro particles (Magnetite-Fe3O4) in a basic fluid (water for example) and subjected to an external magnetic field on the Falkner–Skan system.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present the analyses of electrical circuits with arbitrary source terms defined on middle b cantor set by means of nonlocal fractal calculus and to evaluate the appropriateness of such unconventional calculus.

Design/methodology/approach

The nonlocal fractal integro-differential equations describing RL, RC, LC and RLC circuits with arbitrary source terms defined on middle b cantor set have been formulated and solved by means of fractal Laplace transformation. Numerical simulations based on the derived solutions have been performed where an LC circuit has been studied by means of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. The nonlocal fractal calculus-based Lagrangian and Hamiltonian equations have been derived and the local fractal calculus-based ones have been revisited.

Findings

The author has found that the LC circuit defined on a middle b cantor set become a physically unsound system due to the unreasonable associated Hamiltonian unless the local fractal calculus has been applied instead.

Originality/value

For the first time, the nonlocal fractal calculus-based analyses of electrical circuits with arbitrary source terms have been performed where those circuits with order higher than 1 have also been analyzed. For the first time, the nonlocal fractal calculus-based Lagrangian and Hamiltonian equations have been proposed. The revised contradiction free local fractal calculus-based Lagrangian and Hamiltonian equations have been presented. A comparison of local and nonlocal fractal calculus in terms of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms have been made where a drawback of the nonlocal one has been pointed out.
