Nonlinear Interaction of N Conservative Waves in Two Dimensions

Abstract

Kinematic Fourier (KF) structures, exponential kinematic Fourier (KEF) structures, dynamic exponential (DEF) Fourier structures, and KEF-DEF structures with constant and space-dependent structural coefficients are developed in the current paper to treat kinematic and dynamic problems for nonlinear interaction of N conservative waves in the two-dimensional theory of the Newtonian flows with harmonic velocity. The computational method of solving partial differential equations (PDEs) by decomposition in invariant structures, which continues the analytical methods of undetermined coefficients and separation of variables, is extended by using an experimental and theoretical computation in Maple?. For internal waves vanishing at infinity, the Dirichlet problem is formulated for kinematic and dynamics systems of the vorticity, continuity, Helmholtz, Lamb-Helmholtz, and Bernoulli equations in the upper and lower domains. Exact solutions for upper and lower cumulative flows are discovered by the experimental computing, proved by the theoretical computing, and verified by the system of Navier-Stokes PDEs. The KEF and KEF-DEF structures of the cumulative flows are visualized by instantaneous surface plots with isocurves. Modeling of a deterministic wave chaos by aperiodic flows in the KEF, DEF, and KEF-DEF structures with 5N parameters is considered.

A linear part of the kinematic problem for free-surface waves of the theory of the ideal fluid with implies the exponential Fourier eigenfunctions [5] , which are obtained by the classical method of separation of variables of the 2d Laplace Equation in [4] and [1] . This analytical method was recently developed into the computational method of solving PDEs by decomposition into invariant structures. In [3] , the Boussinesq-Rayleigh- Taylor structures were developed for topological flows away from boundaries. The trigonometric Taylor structures and the trigonometric-hyperbolic structures [6] were used to describe spatiotemporal cascades of exposed and hidden perturbations of the Couette flow, respectively. In [7] , the theory of the invariant trigonometric, hyperbolic, and elliptic structures was constructed and applied for modeling dual perturbations of the Poiseuille-Hagen flow.

To treat linear and nonlinear parts of kinematic and dynamic problems for 2d internal waves in the theory of Newtonian flows with harmonic velocity, kinematic Fourier (KF) structures, exponential kinematic Fourier (KEF) structures, dynamic exponential Fourier (DEF) structures, and KEF-DEF structures with constant structural coefficients are developed in the current paper. The structure of this paper is as follows. In section 2, the kinematic problems for velocity components and dual potentials of the velocity field are formulated in upper and lower domains and treated in the KF and KEF structures. To compute and explore Jacobian determinants (JDs) of the velocity field, the DEF structure is also constructed in this section. In section 3, the dynamic problems for the Bernoulli potential and the total pressure are formulated and computed in the KF, KEF, and KEF-DEF structures. The Navier-Stokes system of PDEs is employed for verification of experimental and theoretical solutions for cumulative upper and lower flows in this section, as well. Visualization and discussion of the developed structures and fluid-dynamic variables is given in section 4, which is followed by a summary of main results in Section 5.

2. Kinematic Problems for Conservative Flows

The following solutions and admissible boundary conditions for the kinematic problems of section 2 in the KF and DEF structures were primarily computed experimentally in Maple™ by programming with lists of equations and expressions in the virtual environment of a global variable Eqs with 29 procedures of 670 code lines.

2.1. Formulation of Theoretical Kinematic Problems for Velocity Components

Theoretical kinematic problems for harmonic velocity components and of a cumulative flow of a Newtonian fluid are given by vanishing thecomponent of the vorticity Equation (3) and the continuity Equation (2), respectively,

(11-12)

To consider nonlinear interaction of internal, conservative waves with a harmonic velocity field, the cumulative flow is decomposed into a superposition of local flows

(13)

such that the local vorticity and continuity equations are

(14-15)

where If Equations (14)-(15) for the local flows are fulfilled, then substitution of superpositions (13) into (11)-(12) and changing order of summation and differentiation yield that Equations (11)-(12) for the cumulative flow are also satisfied.

Upper flows are specified by the Dirichlet condition in the KF structure on a lower boundary of an upper domain and (see Figure 1)

(16)

and a vanishing condition as

(17)

Lower flows are identified by the Dirichlet condition on a lower boundary of a lower domain and (see Figure 1)

(18)

and a vanishing condition as

(19)

Thus, an effect of surface waves on the internal waves is described by the Dirichlet conditions (16) and (18). Here, a structural notation

(20)

is used for kinematic structural functions and where and are boundary coefficients, is an argument of the kinematic and dynamic structural functions, is a propa-

As we will see later, boundary conditions for are then redundant since boundary parameters of

(21-22)

for the upper and lower flows, respectively, depend on boundary parameters of. Similarly to vanishes as

(23-24)

for the upper and lower flows, respectively.

Thus, theandcomponents of the velocity field of the cumulative flows are expanded in the KF structures with constant structural coefficients

(25)

(26)

and the velocity components vanish as

(27)

(28)

for the upper and lower cumulative flows, respectively.

2.2. Theoretical Solutions for the Velocity Field

Theoretical solutions of kinematic problems (11)-(28) are constructed in the KF structure of two spatial variables and time with a general term which in the structural notation may be written as

(29)

where first letters and of structural coefficients and refer to the kinematic structural functions and a second letter to the expanded variable Thus, general terms of the velocity components of the local flows in the structural notation become

(30-31)

It may be shown that spatial derivatives of are

(32-33)

Application of (32)-(33) to (30)-(31), substitution in (14)-(15), and collection of the structural functions reduce the vorticity and continuity PDEs to the following system of two vorticity and continuity ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in the KF structures:

(34-35)

For Equations (34)-(35) to be satisfied exactly for all variables, parameters, and functions of the local flows: and all coefficients of two kinematic structural functions must vanish. Thus, two ODEs (34)-(35) are reduced to two systems of ODEs for and respectively:

(36-37)

(38-39)

Since boundary conditions (25)-(26) are expanded in the KF structure exactly, remainders of structural approximations (34)-(35) vanish, and exact solutions of ODEs (36)-(39) produce exact solutions of vorticity and continuity PDEs (14)-(15). If (25)-(26) are replaced with series approximations, then their remainders constitute errors of the series approximations.

Solutions of ODEs for structural coefficients (36)-(39) are constructed in an exponential structure

(40)

where and are structural coefficients. Substitution of exponential structure (40) in Equations (36) and (38) reduces these ODEs to algebraic equations (AEs) for structural parameters:

(41)

Substitution of (40) and (41) in (37) and (39) reduces these ODEs to AEs for admissible values of the structural coefficient with the following solutions for the upper and lower flows, respectively:

(42)

Since the admissible values of coincide for Equations (37) and (39), ODEs for structural coefficients (36)-(39) are compatible both for the upper and lower flows.

Finally, substitutions of (40)-(42) in (30)-(31) and (13) yield the velocity components in the KEF structures for the upper cumulative flow

(43-44)

and the lower cumulative flow

(45-46)

while boundary conditions (16)-(19) and (21)-(28) are obviously satisfied.

2.3. The DEF structure and Theoretical Jacobian Determinants of the Velocity Components

A general term computed by rectangular summation of non-diagonal terms becomes

Using general terms (48) and (51), summation formula for the product of the KEF structures is written as the DEF structure

(52)

with the following structural coefficients:

(53)

where first two letters and of structural coefficients and stand for dynamic structural functions and, respectively, and a third letter for variable

Computation of local JDs for the velocity components of the upper and lower flow, respectively, yields

(54)

Thus, velocity components and are independent for non-trivial structural coefficients and since the local JDs vanish when

Computation of a global JD by using (52)-(53) for velocity components of the upper and lower cumulative flows (43)-(46) with slant internal waves gives

(55)

So, is a superposition of a propagation JD with general term proportional to an interaction JD with proportional to and an interaction JD with proportional to which describe interaction between parallel and orthogonal internal waves, respectively.

(56)

Global JD (55) then becomes

(57)

Thus, the global JD does not vanish for parallel waves with non-vanishing

vanishes for orthogonal waves with

(58)

In this case, global JD (55) is reduced to

(59)

Thus, the global JD does not vanish also for orthogonal waves with non-vanishing In the general case (55) of slant internal waves, both and are non-vanishing. So, both propagating and interacting waves are independent for structural coefficients with for all

2.4. Theoretical Solutions for the Pseudovector and Scalar Potentials in the KEF Structures

Thus, two Helmholtz ODEs and two Helmholtz AEs are reduced to the following four AEs and four ODEs with respect to and for the upper flows

(75)

(76)

and the lower flows

(77)

(78)

Since general terms of remainders of structural approximations (67)-(74) vanish, exact solutions of AEs and ODEs (75)-(78) produce exact solutions of the Helmholtz PDEs (63)-(64).

Comparison of solutions for and with spatial derivatives in of and shows that they are directly proportional to each other, respectively, for the upper flows

(85)

and the lower flows

(86)

In fluid dynamics, these connections mean that a non-uniform vertical flow generates a horizontal flow and a non-uniform horizontal flow produces a vertical flow.

Similarly, comparison of solutions for and with solutions for and shows that they are also directly proportional, respectively, for the upper flows

Computation of by (52)-53) and (81)-(84) both for the upper and lower cumulative flows gives

(93)

Thus, global isocurves of and also remain orthogonal for all times in agreement with the cumulative Helmholtz Equations (60)-(61). Finally, global isocurves of and remain orthogonal since both for the upper and lower cumulative flows

(112-113)

and the lower flows

(114-115)

Since general terms of remainders of structural approximations (110)-(111) vanish, exact solutions of (112)-(115) produce exact solutions of (105)-(106).

(120-121)

Similar to the kinematic potentials (87)-(88), the dynamic potentials and the velocity components are directly proportional both for the upper and lower flows

(122)

Like in (89)-(90), the Helmholtz and Bernoulli potentials and derivatives of the Bernoulli and Helmholtz potentials inare directly proportional to each other both for the upper flows

3.3. Theoretical Verification by the System of Navier-Stokes PDEs

The system of the Navier-Stokes PDEs (1)-(2) in the scalar notation becomes

(134-135)

(136)

Computation of spatial derivatives of (43)-(46) by (32)-(33) immediately reduces (136) to identity. Temporal derivatives of in the KEF structures for the upper and lower cumulative flows, respectively, are

5. Conclusions

The analytical methods of undetermined coefficients and separation of variables are extended by the computational method of solving 2d PDEs by decomposition in invariant structures. The method is developed by the experimental computing with lists of equations and expressions and the theoretical computing with symbolic general terms. The experimental computing of the kinematic and dynamic problems is implemented by 48 procedures of 1142 code lines and the theoretical computing by 41 procedures of 996 code lines.

To compute the upper and cumulative flows for nonlinear interaction of internal waves in the KF structures, the KEF, DEF, and KEF-DEF structures were treated both experimentally and theoretically. These structures with constant and space-dependent structural coefficients are invariant with respect to various differential and algebraic operations. The structures continue the Fourier series for linear and nonlinear problems with solutions vanishing at infinity and model flows of a deterministic wave chaos with the period that approaches infinity.

The exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes PDEs for the nonlinear interaction of conservative waves are computed in the upper and lower domains by formulating and solving the Dirichlet problem for the vorticity, continuity, Helmholtz, Lamb-Helmholtz, and Bernoulli equations. The conservative waves are not affected by dissipation since they are derived in the class of flows with the harmonic velocity field. The harmonic relationships between fluid-dynamic variables and their spatial derivatives with respect to both for upper and lower flows are obtained.
