Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to use the polynomial differential quadrature method (PDQM) to find the numerical solutions of some Burgers'‐type nonlinear partial differential equations.
Design/methodology/approach
The PDQM changed the nonlinear partial differential equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The obtained system of ODEs is solved by Runge‐Kutta fourth order method.
Findings
Numerical results for the nonlinear evolution equations such as 1D Burgers', coupled Burgers', 2D Burgers' and system of 2D Burgers' equations are obtained by applying PDQM. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with the exact solutions.
Originality/value
A comparison is made with those which are already available in the literature and the present numerical schemes are found give better solutions. The strong point of these schemes is that they are easy to apply, even in two‐dimensional nonlinear problems.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop an efficient numerical scheme for non-linear two-dimensional (2D) parabolic partial differential equations using modified bi-cubic B-spline functions. As a test case, method has been applied successfully to 2D Burgers equations.
Design/methodology/approach
The scheme is based on collocation of modified bi-cubic B-Spline functions. The authors used these functions for space variable and for its derivatives. Collocation form of the partial differential equation results into system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The obtained system of ODEs has been solved by strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta method. The computational complexity of the method is O(p log(p)), where p denotes total number of mesh points.
Findings
Obtained numerical solutions are better than those available in literature. Ease of implementation and very small size of computational work are two major advantages of the present method. Moreover, this method provides approximate solutions not only at the grid points but also at any point in the solution domain.
Originality/value
First time, modified bi-cubic B-spline functions have been applied to non-linear 2D parabolic partial differential equations. Efficiency of the proposed method has been confirmed with numerical experiments. The authors conclude that the method provides convergent approximations and handles the equations very well in different cases.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to use the generalized differential transform method (GDTM) and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving time‐fractional Burgers and coupled Burgers equations. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense.
Design/methodology/approach
In these schemes, the solutions takes the form of a convergent series. In GDTM, the differential equation and related initial conditions are transformed into a recurrence relation that finally leads to the solution of a system of algebraic equations as coefficients of a power series solution. HPM requires a homotopy with an embedding parameter which is considered as a small parameter.
Findings
The paper extends the application and numerical comparison of the GDTM and HPM to obtain analytic and approximate solutions to the time‐fractional Burgers and coupled Burgers equations.
Research limitations/implications
Burgers and coupled Burgers equations with time‐fractional derivative used.
Practical implications
The implications include traffic flow, acoustic transmission, shocks, boundary layer, the steepening of the waves and fluids, thermal radiation, chemical reaction, gas dynamics and many other phenomena.
Originality/value
The numerical results demonstrate the significant features, efficiency and reliability of the two approaches. The results show that HPM is more promising, convenient, and computationally attractive than GDTM.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe how a generalized single-system-single-solve (GS4-1) computational framework, previously developed for linear first order transient systems, can be properly extended for use in nonlinear counterparts, with particular applications to time dependent Burgers’ equation, which is well-known to serve as a simplified model of fluid dynamics, for illustrations of the essential concepts.
Design/methodology/approach
The framework permits, for a very general family of time integrators where traditional methods are a subset, much needed desirable features including second order time accuracy, robustness and unconditional stability, zero-order overshoot behavior, and additionally, a selective control of high frequency damping for both the primary variable and its time derivative. The latter, which is a new, key desirable feature not available in past/existing methods to-date, allows for different amounts of high frequency damping for both the primary variable and its time derivative to ensure physically accurate solutions of these variables. This is in contrast to having only limited control of these numerical dampings, often indiscriminately, as in some past developments which can lead to numerical instabilities in the time derivative variable. The extension of the framework to nonlinear problems, as described in this paper, is achieved via the use of a normalized time weighted residual approach, which naturally allows the time discretization of the transient nonlinear systems as being the natural extensions of the linear systems.
Findings
The primary aim is also to demonstrate the advantage of the selective control feature inherit in the present numerical methodologies for these nonlinear first order transient systems as in the linear counterparts.
Originality/value
The authors wish to tackle the challenges to further enable extensions to nonlinear first order transient systems that frequently arise in fluid dynamics problems; this is the focus of this paper. The primary wish is to demonstrate the ability of the GS4-1 framework for nonlinear first order transient systems as seen in the linear transient counterparts; while on one hand the authors show that an equal amount of high frequency damping (i.e. ρ ∞ = ρ ∞ s) leads to non-physical instability in the time derivative variable for a minimal damping required to obtain acceptable solution of the primary variable, on the other hand, the authors particularly demonstrate how this instability can be easily tuned off via the selective control feature (i.e. ρ ∞ ≠ ρ ∞ s) offered by the developed framework; thereby, demonstrating its robustness and superiority.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a numerical method to solve time dependent Burgers' equation with appropriate initial and boundary conditions.
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a numerical method to solve time dependent Burgers' equation with appropriate initial and boundary conditions.
Design/methodology/approach
The presence of the nonlinearity in the problem leads to severe difficulties in the solution approximation. In construction of the numerical scheme, quasilinearization is used to tackle the nonlinearity of the problem which is followed by semi discretization for spatial direction using differential quadrature method (DQM). Semi discretization of the problem leads to a system of first order initial value problems which are followed by fully discretization using RK4 scheme. The method is analyzed for stability and convergence.
Findings
The method is illustrated and compared with existing methods via numerical experiments and it is found that the proposed method gives better accuracy and is quite easy to implement.
Originality/value
The new scheme is developed by using some numerical schemes. The scheme is analyzed for stability and convergence. In support of predicted theory some test examples are solved using the presented method.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a new cubic B-spline (CBS) approximation technique for the numerical treatment of coupled viscous Burgers’ equations arising in the study of fluid dynamics, continuous stochastic processes, acoustic transmissions and aerofoil flow theory.
Design/methodology/approach
The system of partial differential equations is discretized in time direction using the finite difference formulation, and the new CBS approximations have been used to interpolate the solution curves in the spatial direction. The theoretical estimation of stability and uniform convergence of the proposed numerical algorithm has been derived rigorously.
Findings
A different scheme based on the new approximation in CBS functions is proposed which is quite different from the existing methods developed (Mittal and Jiwari, 2012; Mittal and Arora, 2011; Mittal and Tripathi, 2014; Raslan et al., 2017; Shallal et al., 2019). Some numerical examples are presented to validate the performance and accuracy of the proposed technique. The simulation results have guaranteed the superior performance of the presented algorithm over the existing numerical techniques on approximate solutions of coupled viscous Burgers’ equations.
Originality/value
The current approach based on new CBS approximations is novel for the numerical study of coupled Burgers’ equations, and as far as we are aware, it has never been used for this purpose before.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a local Newton basis functions collocation method for solving the 2D nonlinear coupled Burgers’ equations. It needs less computer storage and flops than the usual global radial basis functions collocation method and also stabilizes the numerical solutions of the convection-dominated equations by using the Newton basis functions.
Design/methodology/approach
A meshless method based on spatial trial space spanned by the local Newton basis functions in the “native” Hilbert space of the reproducing kernel is presented. With the selected local sub-clusters of domain nodes, an approximation function is introduced as a sum of weighted local Newton basis functions. Then the collocation approach is used to determine weights. The method leads to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for the time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs).
Findings
The method is successfully used for solving the 2D nonlinear coupled Burgers’ equations for reasonably high values of Reynolds number (Re). It is a well-known issue in the analysis of the convection-diffusion problems that the solution becomes oscillatory when the problem becomes convection-dominated if the standard methods are followed without special treatments. In the proposed method, the authors do not detect any instability near the front, hence no technique is needed. The numerical results show that the proposed method is efficient, accurate and stable for flow with reasonably high values of Re.
Originality/value
The authors used more stable basis functions than the standard basis of translated kernels for representing of kernel-based approximants for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). The local character of the method, having a well-structured implementation including enforcing the Dirichlet and Neuman boundary conditions, and producing accurate and stable results for flow with reasonably high values of Re for the numerical solution of the 2D nonlinear coupled Burgers’ equations without any special technique are the main values of the paper.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to simulate numerical solutions of nonlinear Burgers' equation with two well‐known problems in order to verify the accuracy of the cubic B‐spline differential quadrature methods.
Design/methodology/approach
Cubic B‐spline differential quadrature methods have been used to discretize the Burgers' equation in space and the resultant ordinary equation system is integrated via Runge‐Kutta method of order four in time. Numerical results are compared with each other and some former results by calculating discrete root mean square and maximum error norms in each case. A matrix stability analysis is also performed by determining eigenvalues of the coefficient matrices numerically.
Findings
Numerical results show that differential quadrature methods based on cubic B‐splines generate acceptable solutions of nonlinear Burgers' equation. Constructing hybrid algorithms containing various basis to determine the weighting coefficients for higher order derivative approximations is also possible.
Originality/value
Nonlinear Burgers' equation is solved by cubic B‐spline differential quadrature methods.

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.
