Angular spectrum approach to electromagnetic wave propagation in inhomogeneous media

The angular spectrum representation of the electromagnetic wave field is employed to solve the wave propagation in a weakly inhomogeneous medium. Taking the two-dimensional spatial Fourier transform of the radiation field as well as of the dielectric constant, the angular amplitude is shown to satisfy an integro-differential equation. A similar equation is also applicable for the propagation of radiation in a non-linear medium. This integro-differential equation is solved for two specific cases of interest, namely that of a stratified medium and of a square-law medium.     

Stochastic functional analysis of propagation and localisation of cylindrical waves in a two-dimensional random medium

Propagation and localisation of cylindrical waves in a two-dimensional (2D) isotropic and homogeneous random medium is studied using the stochastic functional approach. By expanding the random permittivity fluctuation in the form of a Wiener integral equation, and representing the wave fields by a linear combination of outgoing and incoming waves, the scalar Helmholtz equation is solved in the cylindrical coordinates system. An analytical expression of the cylindrical wave is derived and demonstrates the localisation phenomenon, as well as the wavenumber fluctuation in the random medium. Comparing with the waves in non-random medium, the wave transfer equation between plane wave and cylindrical wave in random medium shows an additional exponential factor to indicate the modulation effect owing to the medium randomness in both the amplitude and phase. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the functional dependence of the localisation phenomena.     

Study of Love-type wave propagation in an isotropic tri layers elastic medium overlying a semi-infinite elastic medium structure

This paper deals with the propagation of Love-type wave in a composite isotropic structure embraced of tri layers elastic medium overlying a semi-infinite elastic medium. The heterogeneity is caused due to the variation of linear, exponential, and quadratic with respect to the depth. Modified Bessel function with Debye Asymptotic Expansion approach is used to achieve closed form of dispersion equation analytically and found to be in well agreement to the classical Love wave equation. Numerical computation has been carried out to accomplish the graphical demonstration to unravel some important peculiarities of wave number associated in presence or absence of layers medium and effect of heterogeneities on phase velocity of Love-type wave.

热粘弹波在变温非均匀合金熔体中的传播

机械波在金属凝固过程中传播的定量计算一直是一个难题,主要原因就是在这个过程中的熔体结构非常复杂.本研究考虑到熔体的变温、非均匀和粘弹性的特点,采用Kelvin粘弹性介质模型,建立了具有粘热损失特性的热粘弹性波动方程,通过隐式有限差分方法对波动方程进行求解,并以ZL203A合金熔体为研究对象,探究了热粘弹波在变温非均匀介质中的传播规律.结果表明:热粘弹波从合金熔体的低温区向高温区传播时,非均匀的温度场对波的传播有较大影响;相反,当波从合金熔体的高温区向低温区传播时,非均匀的温度场对波的传播几乎没有影响.热粘弹波在合金熔体中的衰减系数随频率的增大呈线性增大,而随温度的升高先增大后减小,在熔体的枝晶搭接温度附近达到最大值.     

On a fourth-order wave equation for EM propagation in chiral media

A fourth-order wave equation is derived to study the propagation of an electromagnetic (EM) wave in a medium composed of chiral objects. This approximate wave equation does not reflect the handedness of the medium directly, which is more readily apparent, however, in a pair of two coupled second-order wave equations obtaineden route.     

The propagation of a nonlinear sound wave in an unconsolidated granular medium

The propagation of a high-intensity sound wave in an unconsolidated medium is considered. Dissipation effects are taken into account on the basis of Buckingham’s theory of a relaxation mechanism of sound attenuation in a saturated sediment. The nonlinear evolution equation for the relaxing medium is obtained, and the solutions of this equation are analyzed. The second-harmonic generation in such a medium decays, as does the linear sound wave of the same frequency. The stationary weak shock profile has a specific form due to relaxation effects.     

On wave solutions of a weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive two-mode wave system

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce and study rigorously a Hamiltonian structure and soliton solutions for a weakly dissipative and weakly nonlinear medium that governs two Korteweg–de vries (KdV) wave modes. The bounded solution and traveling wave solution such as cnoidal wave and solitary wave are obtained. Subsequently, the equation is numerically solved by Fourier spectral method for its two-soliton solution. These solutions may be useful to explain the nonlinear dynamics of waves for an equation supporting multi-mode weakly dispersive and nonlinear wave medium. In addition, we give an explicit explanation of the mathematics behind the soliton phenomenon for a better understanding of the equation.

Wave propagation in a random medium: The solution of the m-nth moment equation with different wavenumbers

The moment equation with different wavenumbers and different transverse coordinates for wave propagation in a random medium is a linear differential equation. It often appears in the study of problems related to wave propagation in a random medium. The differential equation can be converted into an integral equation by using Green's functions and the integral equation can be solved by iteration. The moment equation is solved by the method of successive scatters, too. The solution of the moment equation is a Dyson expansion. The physical implication of the successive solution of the moment equation with different wavenumbers is explained.     

Propagation of electromagnetic waves in a medium with nonlinear magnetic susceptibility

The interaction of electromagnetic waves in a medium with nonlinear magnetic susceptibility is investigated. On the basis of Tinkham's measurements an antiferromagnet showing a resonance in the submillimeter region is considered as a nonlinear medium. The solution of both the Landau-Lifshitz and Maxwell equations leads to the RHS wave equation. Its solution with boundary conditions shows that the amplitude of the reflected wave from the nonlinear medium on a combined frequency can be non-zero.     

Non-Fourier heat conduction with radiation in an absorbing, emitting, and isotropically scattering medium

This article numerically analyses the combined conductive and radiative heat transfer in an absorbing, emitting, and isotropically scattering medium. The non-Fourier heat conduction equation, which includes the time lag between heat flux and the temperature gradient, is used to model the conductive heat transfer in the medium. It predicts that a temperature disturbance will propagate as a wave at finite speed. The radiative heat transfer is solved using the P₃ approximation method. In addition, the MacCormack's explicit predictor-corrector scheme is used to solve the non-Fourier problem. The effects of radiation including single scattering albedo, conduction-to-radiation parameter, and optical thickness of the medium on the transient and steady state temperature distributions are investigated in detail. Analysis results indicate that the internal radiation in the medium significantly influences the wave nature. The thermal wave nature in the combined non-Fourier heat conduction with radiation is more obvious for large values of conduction-to-radiation parameter, small values of optical thickness and higher scattering medium. The results from non-Fourier-effect equation are also compared to those obtained from the Fourier equation. Non-Fourier effect becomes insignificant as either time increases or the effect of radiation increases.

Multiple monopole scattering of sound waves from spherical particles in liquid and elastic media

A solution to the problem of the mean sound field in liquid and elastic media with spherical particles causing monopole scattering of sound is proposed. The integral equation obtained for the field allows passage to the Helmholtz equation with an effective wave number. The characteristic features of the solution are the absence of radiation loss in the mean field wave and the absence of limitations on the particle concentration. The integral equation is used as the basis for solving the problem of the incidence of a plain sound wave at an arbitrary angle on a plane layer of a medium with particles.

Open quantum system approach for heavy quark thermalization

We treat heavy quark as an open quantum system in a hot medium and rederive the stochastic Schr?dinger equation (SSE) from the full Schr?dinger equation for both heavy quarks and the medium. We apply the SSE to the dynamical evolutions of a heavy quark (as a system) in the static hot medium (as an environment). Heavy quarks interact with the medium via random scatterings, which exchange the momentum and phase factor randomly between two wave functions of the system and the environment. The exchange of momentum and phase factor results in the transition between different eigenstates of the system. These are included via an external stochastic potential in the Hamiltonian of SSE. Stochastic wave functions of a heavy quark are evolved with the stochastic external potential. The mean wave functions and corresponding momentum distributions of heavy quarks are obtained after the ensemble average over a large set of stochastic wave functions. We present the thermalization of heavy quarks in the static medium with different coupling strengths.

In this work, we deal with a nonlinear wave equation, namely the Vakhnenko equation, which models the propagation of nonlinear wave in the barotropic relaxing media. Based on the homoclinic breather limit method, we seek rogue wave solution to the above equation. The results show that rogue wave or giant wave can exist in such a medium.

Absorption and generation of electromagnetic waves by structural inhomogeneities of solid

The integrability conditions of the electromagnetic field equations in a continuum with defects and their wave solutions are found. The following dislocation effects on the electromagnetic wave propagation in a continuous medium are investigated: the change in the direction of the electromagnetic wave propagation in a continuous medium; the rotation of the polarization plane of electromagnetic field wave in a continuous medium; the excitation of longitudinal components of the electromagnetic wave in a continuous medium and the change in the electromagnetic wave intensity related to this phenomenon. The energy balance equation for the electromagnetic field in a continuum with a stationary distribution of dislocation is found and it is shown that an electromagnetic wave excites exciton modes localized at dislocations in the solid.
