The Painleve integrability and exact solutions to a coupled nonlinear Schrodinger （CNLS） equation applied in atmospheric dynamics are discussed. Some parametric restrictions of the CNLS equation are given to pass the Painleve test. Twenty periodic cnoidal wave solutions are obtained by applying the rational expansions of fundamental Jacobi elliptic functions. The exact solutions to the CNLS equation are used to explain the generation and propagation of atmospheric gravity waves.

Solitary waves for a nonlinear dispersive long wave equation

All the possible traveling wave solutions of Whitham-Broer-Kaup （WBK） equation are investigated in the present paper. By employing phase plane analysis, transition boundaries are derived to divide the parameter space into several regions associated with different types of phase portraits corresponding to different forms of wave solutions. All the exact expressions of bounded wave solutions are obtained as well as their existence conditions. The mechanism of bifurcation between different waves with varying Hamiltonian value has been revealed. It is pointed out that as the periods of two coexisted periodic waves tend to infinity, they may evolve to two solitary waves. Furthermore, when their trajectories pass through the common saddle point, the two solitary waves may merge into a periodic wave, and its amplitude is nearly equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the two solitary wave solutions.

Existence and breaking property of real loop-solutions of two nonlinear wave equations

Dynamical analysis has revealed that, for some nonlinear wave equations, loop- and inverted loop-soliton solutions are actually visual artifacts. The so-called loopsoliton solution consists of three solutions, and is not a real solution. This paper answers the question as to whether or not nonlinear wave equations exist for which a ＂real＂ loopsolution exists, and if so, what are the precise parametric representations of these loop traveling wave solutions.

Existence of traveling wave solutions for a nonlinear dissipative-dispersive equation

In this paper, we consider a dissipative-dispersive nonlinear equation appliable to many physical phenomena. Using the geometric singular perturbation method based on the theory of dynamical systems, we investigate the existence of its traveling wave solutions with the dissipative terms having sufficiently small coefficients. The results show that the traveling waves exist on a two-dimensional slow manifold in a three-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations （ODEs）. Then, we use the Melnikov method to establish the existence of a homoclinic orbit in this manifold corresponding to a solitary wave solution of the equation. Furthermore, we present some numerical computations to show the approximations of such wave orbits.     

Numerical simulation of standing wave with 3D predictor-corrector finite difference method for potential flow equations

A three-dimensional （3D） predictor-corrector finite difference method for standing wave is developed. It is applied to solve the 3D nonlinear potential flow equa- tions with a free surface. The 3D irregular tank is mapped onto a fixed cubic tank through the proper coordinate transform schemes. The cubic tank is distributed by the staggered meshgrid, and the staggered meshgrid is used to denote the variables of the flow field. The predictor-corrector finite difference method is given to develop the difference equa- tions of the dynamic boundary equation and kinematic boundary equation. Experimental results show that, using the finite difference method of the predictor-corrector scheme, the numerical solutions agree well with the published results. The wave profiles of the standing wave with different amplitudes and wave lengths are studied. The numerical solutions are also analyzed and presented graphically.

Nonlinear flexural waves and chaos behavior in finite-deflection Timoshenko beam

Based on the Timoshenko beam theory, the finite-deflection and the axial inertia are taken into account, and the nonlinear partial differential equations for flexural waves in a beam are derived. Using the traveling wave method and integration skills, the nonlinear partial differential equations can be converted into an ordinary differential equation. The qualitative analysis indicates that the corresponding dynamic system has a heteroclinic orbit under a certain condition. An exact periodic solution of the nonlinear wave equation is obtained using the Jacobi elliptic function expansion. When the modulus of the Jacobi elliptic function tends to one in the degenerate case, a shock wave solution is given. The small perturbations are further introduced, arising from the damping and the external load to an original Hamilton system, and the threshold condition of the existence of the transverse heteroclinic point is obtained using Melnikov＇s method. It is shown that the perturbed system has a chaotic property under the Smale horseshoe transform.

The effects of horizontal singular straight line in a generalized nonlinear Klein–Gordon model equation

In this paper, we investigate bounded traveling waves of the generalized nonlinear Klein–Gordon model equations by using bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems to study the effects of horizontal singular straight lines in nonlinear wave equations. Besides the well-known smooth traveling wave solutions and the non-smooth ones, four kinds of new bounded singular traveling wave solution are found for the first time. These singular traveling wave solutions are characterized by discontinuous second-order derivatives at some points, even though their first-order derivatives are continuous. Obviously, they are different from the singular traveling wave solutions such as compactons, cuspons, peakons. Their implicit expressions are also studied in this paper. These new interesting singular solutions, which are firstly founded, enrich the results on the traveling wave solutions of nonlinear equations. It is worth mentioning that the nonlinear equations with horizontal singular straight lines may have abundant and interesting new kinds of traveling wave solution.

Exact solutions,conservation laws,bifurcation of nonlinear and supernonlinear traveling waves for Sharma–Tasso–Olver equation

In the present work, we observe the dynamical behavior of nonlinear and supernonlinear traveling waves for Sharma–Tasso–Olver (STO) equation. Exact solutions are derived using \({1}/{G^{^{\prime }}}\) expansion and modified Kudryashov methods. The wave transformation is used to transform STO equation into an ordinary differential equation. Combining Runge–Kutta fourth-order and Fourier spectral technique, we use a mixed scheme for the numerical study of STO equation. Since spectral methods expand the solution in trigonometric series resulting into higher-order technique and Runge–Kutta produces improved accuracy, we extract these qualities for a mixed scheme. Results so produced are presented graphically which provide a useful information about the dynamical behavior. Bifurcation behavior of nonlinear and supernonlinear traveling waves of STO equation is studied with the help of bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems. It is observed that STO equation supports nonlinear solitary wave, periodic wave, shock wave, stable oscillatory wave and most important supernonlinear periodic wave.     

On the resonant nonlinear traveling waves in a thin rotating ring

Large amplitude, traveling wave motion of an inextensible, linearly elastic, rotating ring is analyzed. Equations governing the planar dynamics of a thin rod, curved in its undeformed state and moving in a horizontal reference frame which rotates about a fixed axis, are obtained via Hamilton's extended principle. The equations are specialized to study the behavior of a rotating circular ring and approximate solutions are obtained near resonance utilizing a perturbation analysis. Undamped free and viscously damped forced traveling wave motion is considered. The motion is found to consist of a forward and a backward traveling wave which may be coupled due to the non-linear terms present in the equations of motion
