Note on wavefront dislocation in surface water waves

At singular points of a wave field, where the amplitude vanishes, the phase may become singular and wavefront dislocation may occur. In this Letter we investigate for wave fields in one spatial dimension the appearance of these essentially linear phenomena. We introduce the Chu-Mei quotient as it is known to appear in the ‘nonlinear dispersion relation’ for wave groups as a consequence of the nonlinear transformation of the complex amplitude to real phase-amplitude variables. We show that unboundedness of this quotient at a singular point, related to unboundedness of the local wavenumber and frequency, is a generic property and that it is necessary for the occurrence of phase singularity and wavefront dislocation, while these phenomena are generic too. We also show that the ‘soliton on finite background’, an explicit solution of the NLS equation and a model for modulational instability leading to extreme waves, possesses wavefront dislocations and unboundedness of the Chu-Mei quotient.

Solitary waves and rogue waves in a plasma with nonthermal electrons featuring Tsallis distribution

In this Letter, we discuss the electron acoustic (EA) waves in plasmas, which consist of nonthermal hot electrons featuring the Tsallis distribution, and obtain the corresponding governing equation, that is, a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. By means of Modulation Instability (MI) analysis of the EA waves, it is found that both electron acoustic solitary wave and rogue wave can exist in such plasmas. Basing on the Darboux transformation method, we derive the analytical expressions of nonlinear solutions of NLS equations, such as single/double solitary wave solutions and single/double rogue wave solutions. The existential regions and amplitude of solitary wave solutions and the rogue wave solutions are influenced by the nonextensive parameter q and nonthermal parameter α. Moreover, the interaction of solitary wave and how to postpone the excitation of rogue wave are also studied.     

Breathers and solitons on two different backgrounds in a generalized coupled Hirota system with four wave mixing

We study breathers and solitons on different backgrounds in optical fiber system, which is governed by generalized coupled Hirota equations with four wave mixing effect. On plane wave background, a transformation between different types of solitons is discovered. Then, on periodic wave background, we find breather-like nonlinear localized waves of which formation mechanism are related to the energy conversion between two components. The energy conversion results from four wave mixing. Furthermore, we prove that this energy conversion is controlled by amplitude and period of backgrounds. Finally, solitons on periodic wave background are also exhibited. These results would enrich our knowledge of nonlinear localized waves' excitation in coupled system with four wave mixing effect.

Nonlinear analysis of interaction between finite-amplitude capillary waves in a layered inhomogeneous liquid

The nonlinear capillary wave motion in a two-layer liquid with a free surface is analytically investigated accurate to the second order of smallness in ratio of the wave amplitude to the layer thickness. The layers differ in physicochemical properties. A capillary analogue to the “dead water” effect is observed in the system in both linear and quadratic approximations. In the absence of an electric charge at the interfaces, internal nonlinear resonance interaction between capillary waves is also absent regardless of the place of their origination. When there is a charge at the interlayer boundary, capillary waves resonantly interact with each other.     

Third-order Stokes wave solutions for interfacial internalwaves in three-layer dendity-stratified fluid

Nonlinear Waves in an Inhomogeneous Fluid Filled Elastic Tube

In a thin-walled, homogeneous, straight, long, circular, and incompressible fluid filled elastic tube, small but finite long wavelength nonlinear waves can be describe by a KdV (Korteweg de Vries) equation, while the carrier wave modulations are described by a nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). However if the elastic tube is slowly inhomogeneous, then it is found, in this paper, that the carrier wave modulations are described by an NLSE-like equation. There are soliton-like solutions for them, but the stability and instability regions for this soliton-like waves will change, depending on what kind of inhomogeneity the tube has.     

Nonlinear,nondispersive wave equations: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian functions in the hodograph transformation

The hodograph transformation is generally used in order to associate a system of linear partial differential equations to a system of nonlinear (quasilinear) differential equations by interchanging dependent and independent variables. Here we consider the case when the nonlinear differential system can be derived from a Lagrangian density and revisit the hodograph transformation within the formalism of the Lagrangian-Hamiltonian continuous dynamical systems.Restricting to the case of nondissipative, nondispersive one-dimensional waves, we show that the hodograph transformation leads to a linear partial differential equation for an unknown function that plays the role of the Lagrangian in the hodograph variables. We then define the corresponding hodograph Hamiltonian and show that it turns out to coincide with the wave amplitude. i.e., with the unknown function of the independent variables to be solved for in the initial nonlinear wave equation.

Analysis of the rogue waves in the blood based on the high-order NLS equations with variable coefficients

The research of rogue waves is an advanced field which has important practical and theoretical significances in mathematics, physics, biological fluid mechanics, oceanography, etc. Using the reductive perturbation theory and long wave approximation, the equations governing the movement of blood vessel walls and the flow of blood are transformed into high-order nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations with variable coefficients. The third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation is degenerated into a completely integrable Sasa-Satsuma equation (SSE) whose solutions can be used to approximately simulate the real rogue waves in the vessels. For the first time, we discuss the conditions for generating rogue waves in the blood vessels and effects of some physiological parameters on the rogue waves. Based on the traveling wave solutions of the fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we analyze the effects of the higher order terms and the initial deformations of the blood vessel on the wave propagation and the displacement of the tube wall. Our results reveal that the amplitude of the rogue waves are proportional to the initial stretching ratio of the tube. The high-order nonlinear and dispersion terms lead to the distortion of the wave, while the initial deformation of the tube wall will influence the wave amplitude and wave steepness.

Dynamics of high-frequency modulated waves in a nonlinear dissipative continuous bi-inductance network

This paper presents intensive investigation of dynamics of high frequency nonlinear modulated excitations in a damped bimodal lattice. The effects of the dissipation are considered through a linear dissipation coefficient whose evolution in terms of the carrier wave frequency is checked. There appears that the dissipation coefficient increases with the carrier wave frequency. In the linear limit and for high frequency waves, study of the asymptotic behavior of plane waves reveals the existence of two additional regions in the dispersion curve where the modulational phenomenon is observed compared to the lossless line. Based on the multiple scales method exploited in the continuum approximation using an appropriate decoupling ansatz for the voltage of the two different cells, it appears that the motion of modulated waves is described by a dissipative complex Ginzburg–Landau equation instead of a Korteweg–de Vries equation. We also show that this amplitude wave equation admits envelope and hole solitons in the high frequency mode. From basic sources, we design a programmable electronic generator of complex signals with desired characteristics, which delivers signals exploited as input waves for all our numerical simulations. These simulations are performed in the LTspice software that uses realistic components and give the results that corroborate perfectly our analytical predictions.     

Nonlinear gravitational waves on the surface of viscous fluid: Lagrangian approach

The problems of the asymptotic theory of weakly nonlinear surface waves in viscous fluid are discussed. For standing waves on deep water, the solutions obtained in the first- and second-order approximations in a small parameter—wave steepness—are analyzed. The evolution equation for the amplitude of wave packet envelope is obtained where the inverse Reynolds number is equal to the squared steepness. It is shown that this is a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with linear dissipation.     

Effect of carrier heating on diffusion induced modulational instability in semiconductor plasmas

The purpose of the present paper is to report the study on modulational amplification in diffusive semiconductors including hot carrier effects. Considering that the origin of modulational interaction lies in the third-order optical susceptibility χ ⁽³⁾ arising from the nonlinear diffusion current density and using coupled mode theory, an analytical investigation of frequency modulational interaction between co-propagating laser beams and internally generated acoustic mode is presented. We have studied the steady state and transient amplification characteristics of modulated waves arising in diffusive semiconductor plasmas. The effect of carrier heating adds new dimensions to the present study. The heating effect reduces the required threshold amplitude of wave and enhances steady-state as well as transient gain of the generated acoustic mode.
