Numerical analysis of breaking waves using the moving particle semi-implicit method

Abstract: SUMMARY The numerical method used in this study is the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method, which is based on particles and their interactions. The particle number density is implicitly required to be constant to satisfy incompressibility. A semi-implicit algorithm is used for two-dimensional incompressible non-viscous flow analysis. The particles whose particle number densities are below a set point are considered as on the free surface. Grids are not necessary in any calculation steps. It is estimated that most of computation time is used in generation of the list of neighboring particles in a large problem. An algorithm to enhance the computation speed is proposed. The MPS method is applied to numerical simulation of breaking waves on slopes. Two types of breaking waves, plunging and spilling breakers, are observed in the calculation results. The breaker types are classified by using the minimum angular momentum at the wave front. The surf similarity parameter which separates the types agrees well with references. Breaking waves are also calculated with a passively moving float which is modelled by particles. Artificial friction due to the disturbed motion of particles causes errors in the flow velocity distribution which is shown in comparison with the theoretical solution of a cnoidal wave. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Ultradiscretization of a solvable two-dimensional chaotic map associated with the hesse cubic curve

Abstract: We present a solvable two-dimensional piecewise linear chaotic map which arises from the duplication map of a certain tropical cubic curve. Its gener al solution is constructed by means of the ultradiscrete theta function. We show that the map is derived by the ultradiscretization of the duplication map associated with the Hesse cubic curve. We also show that it is possible to obtain the nontrivial ultradiscrete limit of the solutio n in spite of a problem known as “the minus-sign problem.”

Ultradiscrete QRT maps and tropical elliptic curves

Abstract: It is shown that the polygonal invariant curve of the ultradiscrete QRT (uQRT) map, which is a two-dimensional piecewise linear integrable map, is the complement of the tentacles of a tropical elliptic curve on which the curve has a group structure in analogy to classical elliptic curves. Through the addition formula of a tropical elliptic curve, a tropical geometric description of the uQRT map is then presented. This is a natural tropicalization of the geometry of the QRT map found by Tsuda. Moreover, the uQRT map is linearized on the tropical Jacobian of the corresponding tropical elliptic curve in terms of the Abel-Jacobi map. Finally, a formula concerning the period of a point in the uQRT map is given, and an exact solution to its initial-value problem is constructed by using the ultradiscrete elliptic theta function.

On reversibility of cellular automata with periodic boundary conditions

Abstract: Reversibility of one-dimensional cellular automata with periodic boundary conditions is discussed. It is shown that there exist exactly 16 reversible elementary cellular automaton rules for infinitely many cell sizes by means of a correspondence between elementary cellular automaton and the de Bruijn graph. In addition, a sufficient condition for reversibility of three-valued and two-neighbour cellular automaton is given.

Exact solutions for discrete and ultradiscrete modified KdV equations and their relation to box-ball systems

Abstract: A new class of solutions is proposed for discrete and ultradiscrete modified KdV equations. These are directly related to solutions of the box and ball system with a carrier. Moreover, an extended box and ball system and its exact solutions are discussed.
