Abstract
This research project aims to study some nonlinear partial differential equations
that arise in many branches of physics such as particle physics,
fluid dynamics,
plasma astrophysics, ocean dynamics, atmospheric science, computational
fluid mechanics,
cosmology, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, nonlinear acoustics,
vehicular traffic, electronic transport, etc. Exact solutions, conservation laws
and solution solutions are derived for such equations using various methods. The
nonlinear partial differential equations that are studied in this research work are
two (3 + 1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) like equations, a generalized
(2 + 1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii-Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation,
a generalized dispersive water waves system and an extended (2 + 1)-dimensional
coupled Burgers system in
fluid mechanics.
The classical symmetry approach will be employed to search for exact solutions of a
first (3+1)-dimensional KP like equation. Thereafter, we will derive the admitted
conserved vectors of the aforementioned equation.
We employ some ansatz methods to derive topological solutions of a second
(3 + 1)-dimensional KP like equation. Furthermore, mixed solutions consisting of
singular and periodic solutions and others are derived. Moreover, other analytical
solutions based on modern group analysis are obtained. In addition, low-order
conservation laws are constructed.
We further, determine novel exact solutions of a generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional
Bogoyavlenskii-Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation by utilizing the multiple
exp-function algorithm and the modern group analysis method. Then, we compute
conserved currents using the invariance and multiplier technique.
Symmetry analysis is performed for a generalized dispersive water waves system.
This symmetry analysis will lead to similarity reductions and new exact solutions
with the aid of the simplest equation method. The solutions obtained include the
solitary waves and the traveling wave solutions. In addition, conservation laws are
derived using the multiplier approach.
Finally, we determine novel exact solutions of an extended (2 + 1)-dimensional
coupled Burgers system in
fluid mechanics by the Lie symmetry method in conjunction
with the Kurdyshov method. Conservation laws of the above-mentioned
system are generated.
