Matrix logarithmic wave equation and multi-channel systems in fluid mechanics

arXiv:1906.01816 · doi:10.15632/jtam-pl/112063

Abstract

We formulate the mapping between a large class of nonlinear wave equations and flow equations for barotropic fluid with internal surface tension and capillary effects. Motivated by statistical mechanics and multi-channel physics arguments, we focus on wave equations with logarithmic nonlinearity, and further generalize them to matrix equations. We map the resulting equation to flow equations of multi-channel or multi-component Korteweg-type materials. For some special cases, we analytically derive Gaussian-type matrix solutions and study them in the context of fluid mechanics.
