We study the exact and approximate Lie symmetries for two equations which describe long waves with small amplitude on liquid films. Specifically, we study the 1+2 Benney-Luke and the 1+1 Benney-Lin equations, both from an exact and approximate perspective. To induce approximate symmetries, we show that terms involving derivatives higher than two are necessarily selected as the perturbation parameters. We construct conservation laws for both equations, and illustrate how the approximate point symmetries can be used to determine approximate similarity solutions.

Equations of motion are derived for long waves in water of varying depth. The equations are for small amplitude waves, but do include non-linear terms. They correspond to the Boussinesq equations for water of constant depth. Solutions have been calculated numerically for a solitary wave on a beach of uniform slope. These solutions include a reflected wave, which is also derived analytically by using the linearized long-wave equations.

Abstract We investigate the point symmetries, Lie–Bäcklund symmetries for a type of dispersive water waves. We obtain some Lie transformation groups, various group-invariant solutions, and some similarity solutions. Besides, we produce different formats of conservation laws of the dispersive water waves by using different schemes. Finally, we consider some special solutions of the stationary dispersive water-wave equations.

We carry out a classification of Lie symmetries for the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear damped wave equationutt+fuut=div(gugrad u)with variable damping. Similarity reductions of the equation are performed using the admitted Lie symmetries of the equation and some interesting solutions are presented. Employing the multiplier approach, admitted conservation laws of the equation are constructed for some new, interesting cases.

For the symmetry group of internal-wave equations, the mechanical content of invariants and symmetry transformations is determined. The performed comparison makes it possible to construct expressions for analogs of momentum, angular momentum, energy, Lorentz transformations, and other characteristics of special relativity and electro-dynamics. The expressions for the Lagrange function are defined, and the conservation laws are derived. An analogy is drawn both in the case of the absence of sources and currents in the Maxwell equations and in their presence.

By means of the generalized direct method, we investigate the (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equations. A relationship is constructed between the new solutions and the old ones and we obtain the full symmetry group of the (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equations, which includes the Lie point symmetry group S and the discrete groups D. Some new forms of solutions are obtained by selecting the form of the arbitrary functions, based on their relationship. We also find an infinite number of conservation laws of the (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equations.

Standard application of similarity method to find solutions of PDEs mostly results in reduction to ODEs which are not easily integrable in terms of elementary or tabulated functions. Such situations usually demand solving reduced ODEs numerically. However, there are no systematic procedures available to utilize these numerical solutions of reduced ODE to obtain the solution of original PDE. A practical and tractable approach is proposed to deal with such situations and is applied to obtain approximate similarity solutions to different cases of an initial-boundary value problem of unsteady gas flow through a semi-infinite porous medium.
