Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to determine both analytically and numerically the existence of smooth, cusped and sharp shock wave solutions to a one-dimensional model of microfluidic droplet ensembles, water flow in unsaturated flows, infiltration, etc., as functions of the powers of the convection and diffusion fluxes and upstream boundary condition; to study numerically the evolution of the wave for two different initial conditions; and to assess the accuracy of several finite difference methods for the solution of the degenerate, nonlinear, advection--diffusion equation that governs the model.
Design/methodology/approach
The theory of ordinary differential equations and several explicit, finite difference methods that use first- and second-order, accurate upwind, central and compact discretizations for the convection terms are used to determine the analytical solution for steadily propagating waves and the evolution of the wave fronts from hyperbolic tangent and piecewise linear initial conditions to steadily propagating waves, respectively. The amplitude and phase errors of the semi-discrete schemes are determined analytically and the accuracy of the discrete methods is assessed.
Findings
For non-zero upstream boundary conditions, it has been found both analytically and numerically that the shock wave is smooth and its steepness increases as the power of the diffusion term is increased and as the upstream boundary value is decreased. For zero upstream boundary conditions, smooth, cusped and sharp shock waves may be encountered depending on the powers of the convection and diffusion terms. For a linear diffusion flux, the shock wave is smooth, whereas, for a quadratic diffusion flux, the wave exhibits a cusped front whose left spatial derivative decreases as the power of the convection term is increased. For higher nonlinear diffusion fluxes, a sharp shock wave is observed. The wave speed decreases as the powers of both the convection and the diffusion terms are increased. The evolution of the solution from hyperbolic tangent and piecewise linear initial conditions shows that the wave back adapts rapidly to its final steady value, whereas the wave front takes much longer, especially for piecewise linear initial conditions, but the steady wave profile and speed are independent of the initial conditions. It is also shown that discretization of the nonlinear diffusion flux plays a more important role in the accuracy of first- and second-order upwind discretizations of the convection term than either a conservative or a non-conservative discretization of the latter. Second-order upwind and compact discretizations of the convection terms are shown to exhibit oscillations at the foot of the wave’s front where the solution is nil but its left spatial derivative is largest. The results obtained with a conservative, centered second--order accurate finite difference method are found to be in good agreement with those of the second-order accurate, central-upwind Kurganov--Tadmor method which is a non-oscillatory high-resolution shock-capturing procedure, but differ greatly from those obtained with a non-conservative, centered, second-order accurate scheme, where the gradients are largest.
Originality/value
A new, one-dimensional model for microfluidic droplet transport, water flow in unsaturated flows, infiltration, etc., that includes high-order convection fluxes and degenerate diffusion, is proposed and studied both analytically and numerically. Its smooth, cusped and sharp shock wave solutions have been determined analytically as functions of the powers of the nonlinear convection and diffusion fluxes and the boundary conditions. These solutions are used to assess the accuracy of several finite difference methods that use different orders of accuracy in space, and different discretizations of the convection and diffusion fluxes, and can be used to assess the accuracy of other numerical procedures for one-dimensional, degenerate, convection--diffusion equations.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the integrability studies to the long-short wave equation that is studied in the context of shallow water waves. There are several integration tools that are applied to obtain the soliton and other solutions to the equation. The integration techniques are traveling waves, exp-function method, G′/G-expansion method and several others.
Design/methodology/approach
The design of the paper is structured with an introduction to the model. First the traveling wave hypothesis approach leads to the waves of permanent form. This eventually leads to the formulation of other approaches that conforms to the expected results.
Findings
The findings are a spectrum of solutions that lead to the clearer understanding of the physical phenomena of long-short waves. There are several constraint conditions that fall out naturally from the solutions. These poses the restrictions for the existence of the soliton solutions.
Originality/value
The results are new and are sharp with Lie symmetry analysis and other advanced integration techniques in place. These lead to the connection between these integration approaches.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to produce families of exact soliton solutions (2+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, that describes shallow water waves, using an ansätze approach.
Design/methodology/approach
This article aims to introduce a recently developed ansätze for creating soliton and travelling wave solutions to nonlinear nonintegrable partial differential equations, especially those with physical significance.
Findings
A recently developed ansätze solution was used to successfully construct soliton solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation. This straightforward method is an alternative to the Painleve test analysis, yielding similar results. The strategy demonstrated the existence of a single soliton solution, also known as a localized wave or bright soliton, as well as singular solutions or kink solitons.
Originality/value
The ansätze solution used to construct soliton solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation is novel. New soliton solutions were also obtained.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to determine both analytically and numerically the solution to a new one-dimensional equation for the propagation of small-amplitude waves in shallow waters that accounts for linear and nonlinear drift, diffusive attenuation, viscosity and dispersion, its dependence on the initial conditions, and its linear stability.
Design/methodology/approach
An implicit, finite difference method valid for both parabolic and second-order hyperbolic equations has been used to solve the equation in a truncated domain for five different initial conditions, a nil initial first-order time derivative and relaxation times linearly proportional to the viscosity coefficient.
Findings
A fast transition that depends on the coefficient of the linear drift, the diffusive attenuation and the power of the nonlinear drift are found for initial conditions corresponding to the exact solution of the generalized regularized long-wave equation. For initial Gaussian, rectangular and triangular conditions, the wave’s amplitude and speed increase as both the amplitude and the width of these conditions increase and decrease, respectively; wide initial conditions evolve into a narrow leading traveling wave of the pulse type and a train of slower oscillatory secondary ones. For the same initial mass and amplitude, rectangular initial conditions result in larger amplitude and velocity waves of the pulse type than Gaussian and triangular ones. The wave’s kinetic, potential and stretching energies undergo large changes in an initial layer whose thickness is on the order of the diffusive attenuation coefficient.
Originality/value
A new, one-dimensional equation for the propagation of small-amplitude waves in shallow waters is proposed and studied analytically and numerically. The equation may also be used to study the displacement of porous media subject to seismic effects, the dispersion of sound in tunnels, the attenuation of sound because of viscosity and/or heat and mass diffusion, the dynamics of second-order, viscoelastic fluids, etc., by appropriate choices of the parameters that appear in it.
