The Kawahara Equation: Traveling Wave Solutions Joining Periodic Waves

Patrick Sprenger, Thomas J. Bridges, Michael Shearer

The Kawahara equation is a weakly nonlinear long-wave model of dispersive waves that emerges when leading order dispersive effects are in balance with the next order correction. Tr…

Dispersive Riemann problem for the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation

T. Congy, G. A. El, M. A. Hoefer +1

Long time dynamics of the smoothed step initial value problem or dispersive Riemann problem for the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation are studied using asy…

Distinguishing deformation mechanisms in elastocapillary experiments

Shih-Yuan Chen, Aaron Bardall, Michael Shearer +1

Soft materials are known to deform due to a variety of mechanisms, including capillarity, buoyancy, and swelling. In this paper, we present experiments on polyvinylsiloxane gel thr…

Gradient Induced Droplet Motion Over Soft Solids

Aaron Bardall, Shih-Yuan Chen, Karen E. Daniels +1

Fluid droplets can be induced to move over rigid or flexible surfaces under external or body forces. We describe the effect of variations in material properties of a flexible subst…

Nonlinear Schrödinger equations and the universal description of dispersive shock wave structure

T. Congy, G. A. El, M. A. Hoefer +1

The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and the Whitham modulation equations both describe slowly varying, locally periodic nonlinear wavetrains, albeit in differing amplitude-fre…

A Scalar Conservation Law for Plume Migration in Carbon Sequestration

Elisabeth Brown, Michael Shearer

A quasi-linear hyperbolic partial differential equation with a discontinuous flux models geologic carbon dioxide migration and storage. Dual flux curves characterize the model, giv…
