Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to find the solution of time-fractional Korteweg–de-Vries (tfKdV) equations which may be used for modeling various wave phenomena using homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM).

Design/methodology/approach

HPTM, which consists of mainly two parts, the first part is the application of Laplace transform to the differential equation and the second part is finding the convergent series-type solution using homotopy perturbation method (HPM), based on He’s polynomials.

Findings

The study obtained the solution of tfKdV equations. An existing result “as the fractional order of KdV equation given in the first example decreases the wave bifurcates into two peaks” is confirmed with present results by HPTM. A worth mentioning point may be noted from the results is that the number of terms required for acquiring the convergent solution may not be the same for different time-fractional orders.

Originality/value

Although third-order tfKdV and mKdV equations have already been solved by ADM and HPM, respectively, the fifth-order tfKdV equation has not been solved yet. Accordingly, here HPTM is applied to two tfKdV equations of order three and five which are used for modeling various wave phenomena. The results of third-order KdV and KdV equations are compared with existing results.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to find the solution of classical nonlinear shallow-water wave (SWW) equations in particular to the tsunami wave propagation in crisp and interval environment.

Design/methodology/approach

Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been used for handling crisp and uncertain differential equations governing SWW equations.

Findings

The wave height and depth-averaged velocity of a tsunami wave in crisp and interval cases have been obtained.

Originality/value

Present results by HPM are compared with the existing solution (in crisp case), and they are found to be in good agreement. Also, the residual error of the solutions is found for the convergence conformation and reliability of the present results.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to deal with the application of variational iteration method and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving one dimensional shallow water equations with crisp and fuzzy uncertain initial conditions.

Design/methodology/approach

Firstly, the study solved shallow water equations using variational iteration method and HPM with constant basin depth and crisp initial conditions. Further, the study considered uncertain initial conditions in terms of fuzzy numbers, which leads the governing equations to fuzzy shallow water equations. Then using cut and parametric concepts the study converts fuzzy shallow water equations to crisp form. Then, HPM has been used to solve the fuzzy shallow water equations.

Findings

Results obtained by both methods HPM and variational iteration method are compared graphically in crisp case. Solution of fuzzy shallow water equations by HPM are presented in the form triangular fuzzy number plots.

Originality/value

Shallow water equations with crisp and fuzzy initial conditions have been solved.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to solve linear and non-linear shallow water wave equations using homotopy perturbation method (HPM). HPM is a straightforward method to handle linear and non-linear differential equations. As such here, one-dimensional shallow water wave equations have been considered to solve those by HPM. Interesting results are reported when the solutions of linear and non-linear equations are compared.

Design/methodology/approach

HPM was used in this study.

Findings

Solution of one-dimensional linear and non-linear shallow water wave equations and comparison of linear and non-linear coupled shallow water waves from the results obtained using present method.

Originality/value

Coupled non-linear shallow water wave equations are solved.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to present solutions of uncertain linear and non-linear shallow water wave equations. The uncertainty has been taken as interval and one-dimensional interval shallow water wave equations have been solved by homotopy perturbation method (HPM). In this study, basin depth and initial conditions have been taken as interval and the single parametric concept has been used to handle the interval uncertainty.

Design/methodology/approach

HPM has been used to solve interval shallow water wave equation with the help of single parametric concept.

Findings

Previously, few authors found solution of shallow water wave equations with crisp basin depth and initial conditions. But, in actual sense, the basin depth, as well as initial conditions, may not be found in crisp form. As such, here these are considered as uncertain in term of intervals. Hence, interval linear and non-linear shallow water wave equations are solved in this study using single parametric concept-based HPM.

Originality/value

As mentioned above, uncertainty is must in the above-titled problems due to the various parametrics involved in the governing differential equations. These uncertain parametric values may be considered as interval. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no work has been reported on the solution of uncertain shallow water wave equations. But when the interval uncertainty is involved in the above differential equation, then direct methods are not available. Accordingly, single parametric concept-based HPM has been applied in this study to handle the said problems.
