Lie group analysis and propagation of weak discontinuity in one-dimensional ideal isentropic magnetogasdynamics

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to carry out symmetry group analysis to obtain important classes of exact solutions from the given system of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Lie group analysis is employed to derive some exact solutions of one dimensional unsteady flow of an ideal isentropic, inviscid and perfectly conducting compressible fluid, subject to a transverse magnetic field for the magnetogasdynamics system. By using Lie group theory, the full one-parameter infinitesimal transformations group leaving the equations of motion invariant is derived. The symmetry generators are used for constructing similarity variables which leads the system of PDEs to a reduced system of ordinary differential equations; in some cases, it is possible to solve these equations exactly. Further, using the exact solution, we discuss the evolutionary behavior of weak discontinuity.

Exact solutions to drift-flux multiphase flow models through Lie group symmetry analysis

“…The authors in Ref. [6] derived the symmetry group for the one-dimensional ideal isentropic magnetogasdynamics and found some new exact group invariant solutions, while symmetry reductions and exact solutions for governing equations has been studied extensively in Ref. [7].…”

Symmetry analysis and optimal systems of generalized Chaplygin gas equations with a source term

“…Let us suppose that the discontinuity is propagating along the fastest characteristic . Then the transport equation for the weak discontinuity is given by (see related studies) where , , and denote the jump in across the discontinuity and are collinear to the right eigenvector , with as the amplitude of the discontinuity wave. Using Equations , and in , we obtain the following transport equation for the wave amplitude : …”

Lie group investigation of fractional partial differential equation using symmetry

“…It was in the beginning proposed for integer-order differential equations [1,2,8] and after that recognized for fractional-order single differential equations [9][10][11]18]. Lie group analysis and its applications to differential equations [12][13][14][19][20][21] is one of the efficient methods to handle fractional partial differential equation (FPDE), for such problems a large amount labours have been spent in recent years to extend techniques to deal with FDEs because there exists no precise method to resolve it thoroughly.…”
