TY - JOUR TI - Travelling wave solutions for a surface wave equation in fluid mechanics AU - Tian Yi AU - Yan Zai-Zai JN - Thermal Science PY - 2016 VL - 20 IS - 3 SP - 893 EP - 898 PT - Article AB - This paper considers a non-linear wave equation arising in fluid mechanics. The exact traveling wave solutions of this equation are given by using G'/G-expansion method. This process can be reduced to solve a system of determining equations, which is large and difficult. To reduce this process, we used Wu elimination method. Example shows that this method is effective.
