Abstract By using of the Bäcklund transformation, which is related to the standard truncated Painleve analysis, some types of significant exact soliton solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Broer-Kaup-Kupershmidt equation are obtained. A special type of soliton solutions may be described by means of the variable coefficient heat conduction equation. Due to the entrance of infinitely many arbitrary functions in the general expressions of the soliton solution the solitons of the (2+1)- dimensional Broer-Kaup equation possess very abundant structures. By fixing the arbitrary functions appropriately, we may obtain some types of multiple straight line solitons, multiple curved line solitons, dromions, ring solitons and etc.

Heterogeneous media with multiple spatial scales are finding increased importance in engineering. An example might be a large scale, otherwise homogeneous medium filled with dispersed small-scale particles that form aggregate structures at an intermediate scale. The objective in this paper is to formulate the strong-form Fourier heat conduction equation for such media using the method of reiterated homogenization. The phases are assumed to have a perfect thermal contact at the interface. The ratio of two successive length scales of the medium is a constant small parameter ε. The method is an up-scaling procedure that writes the temperature field as an asymptotic multiple-scale expansion in powers of the small parameter ε . The technique leads to two pairs of local and homogenized equations, linked by effective coefficients. In this manner the medium behavior at the smallest scales is seen to affect the macroscale behavior, which is the main interest in engineering. To facilitate the physical understanding of the formulation, an analytical solution is obtained for the heat conduction equation in a functionally graded material (FGM). The approach presented here may serve as a basis for future efforts to numerically compute effective properties of heterogeneous media with multiple spatial scales.

A new approach in the use of Monte Carlo to solve heat conduction problems is developed using a transport equation approximation to the heat conduction equation. A variety of problems is analyzed with this method and their solutions are compared to those obtained with analytical techniques. This Monte Carlo approach appears to be limited to the calculation of temperatures at specific points rather than temperature distributions. The method is applicable to the solution of multimedia problems with no inherent limitations as to the geometric complexity of the problem.
