CLASSICAL AND NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS OF THE VISCOUS BURGERS EQUATION

2023-1-11
Koşar, Melisa
In this study, the viscous Burgers equation is studied both theoretically and numerically. Before introducing our model of interest, we provide a brief historical concept of the equation where we also remind the reader some basic concepts of the partial differential equations. Here the linear advection equation, the solution of which is a particular case of first order quasilinear partial differential equations, is taken into account as an example. The solutions of the inviscid Burgers equation follows by similar process. The main part of this thesis is devoted to the solutions by utilizing the Hopf-Cole transform. In the next part, the model is investigated by implementation of numerical techniques. We used Backward Time Centered Space (BTCS) and Forward Time Centered Space (FTCS) for the numerical results. Comparison of analytical and numerical results and error analysis are described for several examples on the final part of that work.

Reisnerr-Nordstrom Spacetime Geometry: Derivation of the Euler and Burgers Models
Okutmuştur, Baver (2018-7-07)
A relativistic generalization of the Euler and Burgers models have recently been introduced and analyzed both theoretically and numerically. In this work we extend these analysis to a particular type of the Lorentzian manifold, so called the Reissnerr-Nordström (RS) spacetime geometry. We introduce basic properties of the R-S spacetime and its metric components containing electrical charge term which distinguish the R-S spacetime from the Schwarzshild geometry. Furthermore, we present a derivation of the Eu...
Operator Splitting of the KdV-Burgers Type Equation with Fast and Slow Dynamics
Karasözen, Bülent (2010-11-27)
The Korteweg de Vries-Burgers (KdV-Burgers) type equation arising from the discretization of the viscous Burgers equation with fast dispersion and slow diffusion is solved using operator splitting. The dispersive and diffusive parts are discretized in space by second order conservative finite differences. The resulting system of ordinary differential equations are composed using the time reversible Strang splitting. The numerical results reveal that the periodicity of the solutions and the invariants of the...

Onay, A. K.; Onay, M. (2012-05-02)
The O-substitute derivatives of isoflavans were examinated and the results of the structural and conformational analysis of the molecules were given in this study. Isoflavanes are active compouds of plants and vegetables. Isoflavanes have diverse effects on human and animal health. They show preventative properties on growth of breast cancer cells. In addition to this, they affect women's health during menopause and reduce the risk of fibroids and endometriosis. Soy and red clover are natural sources of iso...
Probabilistic Slope Stability Analyses Using Limit Equilibrium and Finite Element Methods
Akbas, Burak; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2015-10-16)
This paper compares the results of different probabilistic approaches and emphasizes the necessity of probabilistic analyses in slope stability studies. To do that, Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) are utilized and their outputs are compared in terms of probability of failure (PF), reliability index (RI), factor of safety (FS) and the failure surface. Lastly, concept of Random Finite Element Method (RFEM) is studied and effects of spatial correlation distance are investigated.
Inviscid burgers equations and its numerical solutions
Oyar, Nazmi; Okutmuştur, Baver; Department of Mathematics (2017)
In this work, we consider the Burgers equation with zero viscosity term which is called the inviscid Burgers equation. We analyzed this equation both theoretically and numerically through this study. Firstly, we solve this equation analytically by means of characteristic method since it is in the class of quasilinear partial differential equation. Then, initial value problems for this equation subject to continuous and discontinuous initial conditions are studied. We used three different numerical schemes n...
