We present an initial-boundary value problem formulation for the solution of the nonlinear shallow-water wave (NSW) equations. We transform the nonlinear equations into a linear problem by using the Carrier-Greenspan transformation. Then, we obtain the solution through the separation of variables method rather than integral transform techniques, which is the usual practice (Carrier et al., J Fluid Mech 2003; Kanoglu, J Fluid Mech 2004). This formulation allows the use of any physically realistic initial waveform, with and without initial velocity. We consider propagation of different incident wave profiles over a sloping beach, such as solitary waves and N-waves. Comparison of the results of our model with the existing integral transform solutions (Carrier et al., 2003; Tinti and Tonini, J Fluid Mech 2005; Kanoglu and Synolakis, Phys Rev Lett 2006) demonstrates its versatility. We then consider the forced NSW equations to model underwater landslides. We introduce approximations to the governing equations, as the forced equations cannot be transformed into a linear governing equation exactly. We solve the resultant equation using both integral transform and separation of variables techniques. We compare our solution with the linear analytical and nonlinear numerical results of Liu et al. (J Fluid Mech 2003) for a deforming Gaussian disturbance on the ocean floor and determine the ranges of different parameters for which the approximate nonlinear theory is valid.

Analytical solution for the propagation of finite crested long waves over a sloping beach Yağmur, Ahmed Sabri; Kanoğlu, Utku; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2-10) The analytical solution of shallow water-wave equations, both linear and nonlinear, is widely used to provide an insightful understanding of the coastal effect of long waves. These solutions are generally carried out for two-dimensional (1 space + 1 time) propagation, even though there are a limited number of analytical solutions for the three-dimensional (2 space + 1 time) propagation. Three-dimensional propagation of long waves over a sloping beach is considered here. The analytical solution is obtained u...
Numerical solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations Meral, Gülnihal; Tezer, Münevver; Department of Mathematics (2009) In this thesis, the two-dimensional initial and boundary value problems (IBVPs) and the one-dimensional Cauchy problems defined by the nonlinear reaction- diffusion and wave equations are numerically solved. The dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is used to discretize the IBVPs defined by single and system of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations and nonlinear wave equation, spatially. The advantage of DRBEM for the exterior regions is made use of for the latter problem. The differential quad...
Analytical solutions of shallow-water wave equations Aydın, Baran; Kanoğlu, Utku; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011) Analytical solutions for the linear and nonlinear shallow-water wave equations are developed for evolution and runup of tsunamis –long waves– over one- and two-dimensional bathymetries. In one-dimensional case, the nonlinear equations are solved for a plane beach using the hodograph transformation with eigenfunction expansion or integral transform methods under different initial conditions, i.e., earthquake-generated waves, wind set-down relaxation, and landslide-generated waves. In two-dimensional case, th...
New Analytical Solution for Nonlinear Shallow Water-Wave Equations AYDIN, BARAN; Kanoğlu, Utku (2017-08-01) We solve the nonlinear shallow water-wave equations over a linearly sloping beach as an initial-boundary value problem under general initial conditions, i.e., an initial wave profile with and without initial velocity. The methodology presented here is extremely simple and allows a solution in terms of eigenfunction expansion, avoiding integral transform techniques, which sometimes result in singular integrals. We estimate parameters, such as the temporal variations of the shoreline position and the depth-av...
Effective-mass Klein-Gordon-Yukawa problem for bound and scattering states Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (2011-09-01) Bound and scattering state solutions of the effective-mass Klein-Gordon equation are obtained for the Yukawa potential with any angular momentum l. Energy eigenvalues, normalized wave functions, and scattering phase shifts are calculated as well as for the constant mass case. Bound state solutions of the Coulomb potential are also studied as a limiting case. Analytical and numerical results are compared with the ones obtained before.
