Hydrothermal Surface-wave Instability and the Kuramoto-sivashinsky Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a system formed by an infinite viscous liquid layer with a constant horizontal temperature gradient, and a basic nonlinear bulk velocity profile. In the limit of long-wavelength and large nondimensional surface tension, we show that hydrothermal surface-wave instabilities may give rise to disturbances governed by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. A possible connection to hot-wire experiments is also discussed. Typeset using REVTEX 1

Exact Solutions of the Generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation
In this paper we obtain exact solutions of the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, which describes manyphysical processes in motion of turbulence and other unstable process systems. The methods used to determine the exact solutions of the underlying equation are the Lie group analysis and the simplest equation method. The solutions obtained are then plotted.
متن کاملStability of solution of Kuramoto-Sivashinsky-Korteweg-de Vries system
A model consisting of a mixed Kuramoto-Sivashinsky-Kortewegde Vries equation, linearly coupled to an extra linear dissipative equation has been proposed in [1] in order to describe the surface waves on multi-layered liquid films and stability criteria are discussed using wave mode analysis. In this paper, we study the linear stability of solutions to the model from the viewpoint of energy estim...
متن کاملMultiplicity and structures for traveling wave solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation
The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation is known as a popular prototype to represent a system in which the transport of energy through nonlinear mode coupling produces a balance between long wavelength instability and short wavelength dissipation. Existing numerical results indicate that the KS equation admits three classes (namely, regular shock, oscillatory shock, and solitary wave) of nonperi...

The spatially periodic Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation (pKS) ∂tu = −∂ xu− c3∂ xu− c2∂ xu+ 2δ∂x(cos(x)u)− ∂x(u), with u(t, x) ∈ R, t ≥ 0, x ∈ R, is a model problem for inclined film flow over wavy bottoms and other spatially periodic systems with a long wave instability.

متن کاملComputational Study of the Dispersively Modified Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation
We analyze and implement fully discrete schemes for periodic initial value problems for a general class of dispersively modified Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equations. Time discretizations are constructed using linearly implicit schemes and spectral methods are used for the spatial discretization. The general case analyzed covers several physical applications arising in multi-phase hydrodynamics and t...
