Nonlinear dynamical magnetosonic wave interactions and collisions in magnetized plasma

The one-dimensional nonlinear dynamical wave interactions in a system of quasineutral two-fluid plasma in a constant magnetic field are investigated.The existence of the travelling wave solutions is discussed.The modulation stability of linear waves and the modulation instability of weakly nonlinear waves are presented.Both suggest that the Korteweg-de Vries(KdV) system is modulationally stable.Besides,the wave interactions including the periodic wave interaction and the solitary wave interaction are captured and presented.It is shown that these interacting waves alternately exchange their energy during propagation.The Fourier spectrum analysis is used to depict the energy transformation between the primary and harmonic waves.It is known that the wave interactions in magnetized plasma play an important role in various processes of heating and energy transportation in space and astrophysical plasma.However,few researchers have considered such magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) wave interactions in plasma.It is expected that this work can provide additional insight into understanding of behaviors of MHD wave interactions.

Exact solutions,conservation laws,bifurcation of nonlinear and supernonlinear traveling waves for Sharma–Tasso–Olver equation

In the present work, we observe the dynamical behavior of nonlinear and supernonlinear traveling waves for Sharma–Tasso–Olver (STO) equation. Exact solutions are derived using \({1}/{G^{^{\prime }}}\) expansion and modified Kudryashov methods. The wave transformation is used to transform STO equation into an ordinary differential equation. Combining Runge–Kutta fourth-order and Fourier spectral technique, we use a mixed scheme for the numerical study of STO equation. Since spectral methods expand the solution in trigonometric series resulting into higher-order technique and Runge–Kutta produces improved accuracy, we extract these qualities for a mixed scheme. Results so produced are presented graphically which provide a useful information about the dynamical behavior. Bifurcation behavior of nonlinear and supernonlinear traveling waves of STO equation is studied with the help of bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems. It is observed that STO equation supports nonlinear solitary wave, periodic wave, shock wave, stable oscillatory wave and most important supernonlinear periodic wave.     

Interactions among different types of nonlinear waves described by the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

In nonlinear science, the interactions among solitons are well studied because the multiple soliton solutions can be obtained by various effective methods. However, it is very difficult to study interactions among different types of nonlinear waves such as the solitons (or solitary waves), the cnoidal periodic waves and Painlevé waves. In this paper, taking the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation as an illustration model, a new method is established to find interactions among different types of nonlinear waves. The nonlocal symmetries related to the Darboux transformation (DT) of the KP equation is localized after embedding the original system to an enlarged one. Then the DT is used to find the corresponding group invariant solutions. It is shown that the essential and unique role of the DT is to add an additional soliton on a Boussinesq-type wave or a KdV-type wave, which are two basic reductions of the KP equation.     

Three kinds of nonlinear dispersive waves in elastic rods with finite deformation

On the basis of classical linear theory on longitudinal, torsional and flexural waves in thin elastic rods, and taking finite deformation and dispersive effects into consideration, three kinds of nonlinear evolution equations are derived. Qualitative analysis of three kinds of nonlinear equations are presented. It is shown that these equations have homoclinic or heteroclinic orbits on the phase plane, corresponding to solitary wave or shock wave solutions, respectively. Based on the principle of homogeneous balance, these equations are solved with the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method. Results show that existence of solitary wave solution and shock wave solution is possible under certain conditions. These conclusions are consistent with qualitative analysis.     

Weak Solutions of a Generalized Boussinesq System

We study the convergence of homoclinic orbits and heteroclinic orbits in the dynamical system governing traveling wave solutions of a perturbed Boussinesq systems modeling two-directional propagation of water waves. Nonanalytic weak solutions are found to be limits of these orbits, including compactons, peakons, and rampons, as well as infinitely many mesaons occurring at the same fixed point in the dynamical system. Singularities of solitary wave solutions in the system are also studied to understand the important impact of both linear and nonlinear dispersion terms on the regularity of these solutions.     

On the traveling waves governed by the Camassa–Holm equation

The Camassa–Holm equation admits undistorted traveling waves that are either smooth or exhibit peaks or cusps. All three wave types can be periodic or solitary. Also waves of different types may be combined. In the present paper it is shown that, apart from peaks and cusps, the traveling waves governed by the Camassa–Holm equation can be found from some simpler equation. In the case of peaked solutions, this reduced equation is even linear. The governing equation of traveling waves in its original form can be interpreted as a nonlinear combination of the reduced equation and its first integral. For a small range of the integration constant, the reduced equation admits bounded solutions, which then are directly inherited by the Camassa–Holm equation. In general, the solutions of the reduced equation are unbounded and cannot be considered to represent traveling waves. The full equation, however, has a nonlinearity in the highest derivative, which is characteristic for the Camassa–Holm and some other equations. This nonlinear term offers the possibility of constructing bounded traveling waves from the unbounded solutions of the reduced equation. These waves necessarily have discontinuities in the slope and are, therefore, solutions only in a generalized sense.     

BIFURCATIONS OF TRAVELLING WAVE SOLUTIONS FOR GENERALIZED DRINFELD-SOKOLOV EQUATIONS

Nonlinear waves in electromigration dispersion in a capillary

We construct exact solutions to an unusual nonlinear advection–diffusion equation arising in the study of Taylor–Aris (also known as shear) dispersion due to electroosmotic flow during electromigration in a capillary. An exact reduction to a Darboux equation is found under a traveling-wave ansatz. The equilibria of this ordinary differential equation are analyzed, showing that their stability is determined solely by the (dimensionless) wave speed without regard to any (dimensionless) physical parameters. Integral curves, connecting the appropriate equilibria of the Darboux equation that governs traveling waves, are constructed, which in turn are shown to be asymmetric kink solutions (i.e., non-Taylor shocks). Furthermore, it is shown that the governing Darboux equation exhibits bistability, which leads to two coexisting non-negative kink solutions for (dimensionless) wave speeds greater than unity. Finally, we give some remarks on other types of traveling-wave solutions and a discussion of some approximations of the governing partial differential equation of electromigration dispersion.     

Nonlinear steady states of hyperelastic membrane tubes conveying a viscous non-Newtonian fluid

We study possible steady states of an infinitely long tube made of a hyperelastic membrane and conveying either an inviscid, or a viscous fluid with power-law rheology. The tube model is geometrically and physically nonlinear; the fluid model is limited to smooth changes in the tube’s radius. For the inviscid case, we analyse the tube’s stretch and flow velocity range at which standing solitary waves of both the swelling and the necking type exist. For the viscous case, we first analyse the tube’s upstream and downstream limit states that are balanced by infinitely growing upstream (and decreasing downstream) fluid pressure and axial stress caused by fluid viscosity. Then we investigate conditions that can connect these limit states by a single solution. We show that such a solution exists only for sufficiently small flow speeds and that it has a form of a kink wave; solitary waves do not exist. For the case of a semi-infinite tube (infinite either upstream or downstream), there exist both kink and solitary wave solutions. For finite-length tubes, there exist solutions of any kind, i.e. in the form of pieces of kink waves, solitary waves, and periodic waves.     

Solitary wave interactions and reshaping in coupled systems

The interaction of the components of composite solitary waves governed by nonlinear coupled equations is studied numerically. It is shown how predictions of the known exact traveling wave solutions may help in understanding and explaining the process of reshaping seen as head-on and take-over collisions of individual solitary waves. The most interesting results concern the switch in the sign or the periodic modulation of the amplitude of the solitary wave and the direction of its propagation due to collisions.     

Bilinear Bäcklund transformation,Lax pair and interactions of nonlinear waves for a generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in nonlinear optics/fluid mechanics/plasma physics

In this paper, outcomes of the study on the Bäcklund transformation, Lax pair, and interactions of nonlinear waves for a generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in nonlinear optics, fluid mechanics, and plasma physics are presented. Via the Hirota bilinear method, a bilinear Bäcklund transformation is obtained, based on which a Lax pair is constructed. Via the symbolic computation, mixed rogue–solitary and rogue–periodic wave solutions are derived. Interactions between the rogue waves and solitary waves, and interactions between the rogue waves and periodic waves, are studied. It is found that (1) the one rogue wave appears between the two solitary waves and then merges with the two solitary waves; (2) the interaction between the one rogue wave and one periodic wave is periodic; and (3) the periodic lump waves with the amplitudes invariant are depicted. Furthermore, effects of the noise perturbations on the obtained solutions will be investigated.
