چکیده

We consider a one-parameter family of nonstrictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws modeling three-phase flow in a porous medium. For a particular value of the parameter, the model has a shock wave solution that undergoes several bifurcations upon perturbation of its left and right states and the parameter. In this paper we use singularity theory and bifurcation theory of dynamical systems, including Melnikov’s method, to find all nearby shock waves that are admissible according to the viscous profile criterion. We use these results to construct a unique solution of the Riemann problem for each left and right state and parameter value in a neighborhood of the unperturbed shock wave solution; together with previous numerical work, this construction completes the solution of the three-phase flow model. In the bifurcation analysis, the unperturbed shock wave acts as an organizing center for the waves appearing in Riemann solutions.

Numerical modelling of induced rip currents by discontinuous submerged breakwaters

Submerged breakwaters are one of the shore protective structures. Any discontinuity in these breakwaters causes changes on current parameters including speed and water surface profile. In this paper, discontinuous submerged breakwaters were modelled to investigate the changes in the wave and flow pattern.To investigate the phenomenon, three models including a shore with constant slope, a shore ...
