Characteristic forms of differential equations for wave propagation in nonlinear media are derived directly from equations of motion and equations which combine the constitutive equations and the equations of continuity. Both Lagrangian coordinates and Eulerian coordinates are considered. The constitutive equations considered here apply to a large class of nonlinear materials. The characteristic forms derived here clearly show which components of the stress and velocity are involved in the differentiation along the bicharacteristics. Moreover, the reduction to one-dimensional cases from three-dimensional problems is obvious for the characteristic forms obtained here. Examples are given and compared with the known solution in the literature for wave propagation in linear isotropic elastic solids and isentropic compressible fluids.

AbstractThis article scrutinizes the efficacy of analytical mathematical schemes, improved simple equation and exp(-\text{Ψ}(\xi ))-expansion techniques for solving the well-known nonlinear partial differential equations. A longitudinal wave model is used for the description of the dispersion in the circular rod grounded via transverse Poisson’s effect; similarly, the Boussinesq equation is used for extensive wave propagation on the surface of water. Many other such types of equations are also solved with these techniques. Hence, our methods appear easier and faster via symbolic computation.

Wave propagation in excitable media provides an important example of spatiotemporal self-organization. The Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction and the impulse propagation along nerve axons are two well-known examples of this phenomenon. Excitable media have been modelled by continuous partial differential equations and by discrete cellular automata. Here we describe a simple three-states cellular automaton model based on the properties of excitation and recovery that are essential to excitable media. Our model is able to reproduce the dynamics of patterns observed in excitable media.

We define the notion of compressive and rarefactive waves and derive the differential equations describing smooth wave steepening for the compressible Euler equations with a varying entropy profile and general pressure laws. Using these differential equations, we directly generalize Lax's singularity (shock wave) formation results (established in 1964 for hyperbolic systems with two variables) to the 3 × 3 compressible Euler equations for a polytropic ideal gas. Our results are valid globally without restriction on the size of the variation of initial data.

In this paper, the authors extend their study of wall mechanics given in Part 1 to the overall problem of fluid-solid interactions in arterial flows. Fluid-solid coupling has become a specific topic in computational methods and applied mechanics. In this review, firstly, the effects of elasticity of blood vessels on wave propagation and local flow patterns in large arteries are discussed. Then, numerical techniques are reviewed together with the alternative coupled methods available in fluid—wall models. Finally, a novel numerical algorithm combining two commercial codes for coupled solid/fluid problems is presented. As a consequence of the present studies, wall effects are now able to be included in predictions of haemodynamics in a clinical context.
