nonlinearity, dissipation and 𝜇 dispersion effects on Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation.
Approximate solutions are obtained by means of the New Iterative Algorithm (NIA) and Homotopy
Perturbation Algorithm (HPA) and results showed the good performance efficiency of the proposed
schemes and illustrated with 3D and 2D phase plots.

1. INTRODUCTION

In 1895, Korteweg and de Vries [1] developed the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation to model weakly
nonlinear waves. It has been used in several different fields to describe many areas of physical sciences.
The KdV-Burgers (KdVB) equation which is derived by Su and Gardner [2] appears in the study of the weak
effects of dispersion, dissipation and nonlinearity in waves propagating in a liquid-filled elastic tube.
The Korteweg-de Vries-Burger (KdVB) equation is the partial differential equation which describe the
relationship and interaction of 𝛼 controls the nonlinearity effect, 𝛽 gives the effect of dissipation and 𝜇 the
dispersion effect is controlled. The non dimensionalized version of the equation is of the form:

(1)

where 𝛼, 𝛽 𝑎𝑘𝑑 𝜇 are non-zero constants, is nonlinearity, is dissipation and is

dispersion and where (𝑥, 𝑡) is proportional to the radial perturbation of the tube wall and 𝑥 and 𝑡 are the
characteristic and time variables respectively.
In the last three decades considerable attention has been devoted to the Korteweg–de Vries– Burgers
(KdV–Burgers) equation, which arises in many physical sciences such as the propagation of undular bores
in shallow water [3], the flow of liquids containing gas bubbles [4], the propagation of waves in an elastic
tube filled with a viscous fluid [5] and the flow of liquids containing gas bubbles [4] and turbulence [6].
Recently, Zayko et al. investigated the Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation, which arises from ferro
electricity [7], [8].
Eq. (1) can be split into two parts: when 𝛽 = 0,

(2)
We have Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) and when 𝜇 = 0 lead to

Eq. (3) becomes Burgers equation which determine the motion of a pressure-less fluid subjected to
dissipation.
Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) Eq. (2) is a generic model for the study of weakly nonlinear long
waves, incorporating leading-order nonlinearity and dispersion. For example, it describes surface waves of
long wavelength and small amplitude on shallow water[9] and internal waves in a shallow density-stratified
fluid [10]. The solitary-wave solution of the KdV equation, thus named because it consists of a single humped
wave has a number of special properties [11]. Numerically examined the nonlinear interaction of a large
solitary-wave overtaking a smaller one. It was found that, after interaction, the solitary waves retained their
original shapes the only effect of the collision being a phase shift and [11] discussed the soliton interaction
for the extended Korteweg-deVries equation.
The aim of the study is to employ New Iterative Algorithm and Homotopy Perturbation Algorithm
discussed [12] and [13] respectively to study the Korteweg-deVries-Burgers equation we use to describe
our model appears in a great number of other applications [14]. Thus, we obtain (𝑥, 𝑡) which describes the
elongation of the wave at the place 𝑥 at time 𝑡.
This paper is organized as follows. In section 1 described brief introduction to the Korteweg -
deVries-Burgers equation, section 2 presents descriptions of new iteration method and Homotopy
perturbation method to formulate new iterative algorithm and Homotopy perturbation algorithm. In section
3, the computational experiment was carried on Eq. (1), Eq. (2) and Eq. (3) couple with suitable initial
condition (13) and results are presented and 3D and 2D plots, discussion and conclusion are presented
in section 4 and section 5.

2.2 Homotopy Perturbation Method

In this section, we present the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) as a numerical technique for
solving functional equations. Consider a non-linear differential equation of the form [13]:
(𝜑) − ƒ(𝜎) = 0, 𝜎 C Ω (13)
With boundary conditions:

(14)
Where 𝐴 is a general operator, 𝐵 is a boundary operator, ƒ(𝜎) is a known analytic function, and Γ is
the boundary of the domainΩ. 𝐴 can further be divided into two parts 𝐿 and 𝑁 where 𝐿 is the linear
part of 𝐴 and 𝑁 if the nonlinear part of 𝐴. Eq. (13) can now be expressed as;
(𝜑) + (𝜑) − ƒ(𝜎) = 0, 𝜎CΩ (15)
By constructing the Homotopy (𝜎, 𝑝): Ω × [0,1] → ℝ, which satisfies;
(𝑣, 𝑝) = (1 − 𝑝)[𝐿(𝑣) − 𝐿(𝜑0)] + 𝑝[𝐴(𝑣) − ƒ(𝜎)] = 0, 𝑝C[0,1], 𝜎CΩ (16)
𝜑0 is the initial approximation Eq. (13), the Homotopy parameter is then used to expand;

Take p = 1, then

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Discussion

We have investigated the Korteweg-de Vries-Burger (KdVB) equation which arises from ferro
electricity and obtain (𝑥, 𝑡) which describes the elongation of the wave at the place 𝑥 at time 𝑡.
From Table 1, the volume of 𝜑(𝑥, 𝑡) elongation of the wave at the place 𝑥 at time 𝑡 under the following
assumptions: Dissipation effect 𝛽 is less than dispersion effect 𝜇 , dispersion effect 𝜇 is greater than
dissipation effect 𝛽 and dissipation effect 𝛽 is equal to dispersion effect 𝜇 respectively.

From the results obtained we observe the following:

i. More numerical solutions 𝜑(𝑥, 𝑡) obtained when dispersion effect 𝜇 is greaterthan dissipation
effect 𝛽 (𝛼 = 2, 𝛽 = 0.0001, 𝜇 = 0.1)
ii. Less numerical solutions 𝜑(𝑥, 𝑡) obtained when dissipation 𝛽 is greater than dispersion
effect 𝜇 𝛼 = 2, 𝛽 = 0.1, 𝜇 = 0.0001

Table 2 shows the amount of (𝑥, 𝑡) elongation of the wave at the place 𝑥 at time 𝑡of Korteweg-de
Vries equation (KdV) when dissipation effect 𝛽=0 (𝛼 = 2, 𝛽 = 0, 𝜇 = 0.1). Table 3 shows the amount
of (𝑥, 𝑡) elongation of the wave at the place 𝑥 at time 𝑡 of Burgers equation when dispersion effect 𝜇
= 0 (𝛼 = 2, 𝛽 = 0, 𝜇 = 0.1). Moreover, Figure 1, Figure 3, Figure 5, Figure 7, Figure 9 show the 3D
plots elongation of the waves profiles while Figure 2, Figure 4, Figure 6, Figure 8, Figure 10 show
2D plots which depicttime distributions profiles from initial time 0 to 5 which profile are presented in
red, black, purple, blue, yellow and green respectively.

5. CONCLUSION

In this paper, we formulate two computational algorithms (AIM and HPA) using new iterative method and
Homotopy perturbation method. A user friendly MAPLE 18 software commands are develop to
implement the numerical schemes in order to investigate the effects of nonlinearity 𝛼, dispersion 𝜇 and
dissipation 𝛽 of nondimensionalized Korteweg-de Vries-Burger (KdVB) equation. The study further
studied the relationship between KdV and Burgers equation using the same parameters usedfor (KdVB).
From computational point of view, NIA is fairly better than HPA. We conclude that the present
computational approaches can be a good mathematical tools in solving linear and nonlinear problems
in mathematical physics.
