“…Drawing on Fedele and Dutykh 18 , 19 , 21 consider the axisymmetric perturbation to a laminar pipe fluid flowing in the streamwise direction x , with r the radial direction. The associated streamfunction is , where is the least stable eigenmode of the linearized axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations around the laminar flow solution 21 and the amplitude A ( x , t ) satisfies a CH type equation 18 where is a mean advection velocity, are free parameters, ( F , H ) are the coefficients of the nonlinear terms and r is the radial direction. Here, we added a fifth-order dispersion term ruled by to model dispersive effects beyond axisymmetry.…”
