with the rapid growth of indoor wireless communication systems, the need to accurately model radio wave propagation inside the building environments has increased. many site-specific methods have been proposed for modeling indoor radio channels. among these methods, the ray tracing algorithm and the finite-difference time domain (fdtd) method are the most popular ones. the ray tracing approach ...

This Brief Report is devoted to the study of the solitary surface wave rotating in the azimuthal direction, arising during water drainage from a cylindrical reservoir, when shallow flow conditions are reached. The linear dependence between the wave speed and its amplitude is shown to be similar to that expected from the classical Korteweg-de Vries equation.

This paper concerns with the modeling and construction of a fifth order method for two dimensional acoustic wave equation in heterogenous media. The method is based on a standard discretization of the problem on smooth regions and a nonstandard method for nonsmooth regions. The construction of the nonstandard method is based on the special treatment of the interface using suitable jump conditio...

This paper is devoted to the study of a recently derived periodic shallow water equation. We discuss in detail the blow-up scenario of strong solutions and present several conditions on the initial profile, which ensure the occurrence of wave breaking. We also present a family of global weak solutions, which may be viewed as global periodic shock waves to the equation under discussion.

is an extensively studied nonlinear equation. It first appeared as an abstract biHamiltonian partial differential equation in an article of Fuchssteiner and Fokas [39] but did not receive much attention until Camassa and Holm [15] (see also [16]) derived it as a nonlinear wave equation that models unidirectional wave propagation on shallow water and discovered its rich mathematical structure. I...

A general method for the derivation of asymptotic nonlinear shallow water and deep water models is presented. Starting from a general dimensionless version of the water-wave equations, we reduce the problem to a system of two equations on the surface elevation and the velocity potential at the free surface. These equations involve a Dirichlet-Neumann operator and we show that all the asymptotic...

The stress wave propagation in a generalized thermoelastic polygonal plate of inner and outer cross sections is studied using the Fourier expansion collocation method. The wave equation of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity is applied under the plane strain assumption of generalized thermoelastic plate of polygonal shape, composed of homogeneous isotropic material.  The freque...
