Stationary one-dimensional dispersive shock waves

We address shock waves generated upon the interaction of tilted plane waves with negative refractive index defects in defocusing media with linear gain and two-photon absorption. We found that, in contrast to conservative media where one-dimensional dispersive shock waves usually exist only as nonstationary objects expanding away from a defect or generating beam, the competition between gain and two-photon absorption in a dissipative medium results in the formation of localized stationary dispersive shock waves, whose transverse extent may considerably exceed that of the refractive index defect. One-dimensional dispersive shock waves are stable if the defect strength does not exceed a certain critical value.     

Shock waves and formation of carbon dioxide hydrate at an increased pressure in the gas-liquid medium

The processes of breaking, solution, and formation of hydrates behind a shock wave of moderate amplitude were studied experimentally in water with carbon dioxide bubbles under different initial static pressures. It is shown that an increase in the static pressure in a gas-liquid medium leads to reduction of critical relative amplitude of the shock wave, corresponding to starting development of Kelvin — Helmholtz instability and bubble splitting into small gas inclusions behind the shock wave front. It is shown that the rates of carbon dioxide solution and hydrate formation behind the shock wave front are close by the value; their dependences on medium and wave parameters are determined. Calculations by the model of gas hydration behind the shock wave are presented. The work was financially supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (grants Nos. 06-01-00142 and 06-08-00657).     

Propagation of partially polarized Gaussian Schell-model beams in anomalously dispersive media

By use of a tensor method, analytical transform formulae for isotropic partially polarized GSM beams propagating in anomalously dispersive media are derived. Based on the derived formula, the propagation properties of isotropic partially polarized GSM beams in anomalously dispersive media are studied in detail. The results show that the polarization and the irradiance distribution and the coherence degree properties are influenced by the anomalously dispersive media and beam's initial coherence. In addition, the evolution of the spectrum shows that spectrum splitting and spectral shift occur during propagation in anomalously dispersive media.     

Finite volume schemes for dispersive wave propagation and runup

Finite volume schemes are commonly used to construct approximate solutions to conservation laws. In this study we extend the framework of the finite volume methods to dispersive water wave models, in particular to Boussinesq type systems. We focus mainly on the application of the method to bidirectional nonlinear, dispersive wave propagation in one space dimension. Special emphasis is given to important nonlinear phenomena such as solitary waves interactions, dispersive shock wave formation and the runup of breaking and non-breaking long waves.     

Interactions of dispersive shock waves

Collisions and interactions of dispersive shock waves in defocusing (repulsive) nonlinear Schrödinger type systems are investigated analytically and numerically. Two canonical cases are considered. In one case, two counterpropagating dispersive shock waves experience a head-on collision, interact and eventually exit the interaction region with larger amplitudes and altered speeds. In the other case, a fast dispersive shock overtakes a slower one, giving rise to an interaction. Eventually the two merge into a single dispersive shock wave. In both cases, the interaction region is described by a modulated, quasi-periodic two-phase solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The boundaries between the background density, dispersive shock waves and their interaction region are calculated by solving the Whitham modulation equations. These asymptotic results are in excellent agreement with full numerical simulations. It is further shown that the interactions of two dispersive shock waves have some qualitative similarities to the interactions of two classical shock waves.     

Numerical Study of Air Flow Induced by Shock Impact on an Array of Perforated Plates

This study is focused on the propagation behavior and attenuation characteristics of a planar incident shock wave when propagating through an array of perforated plates. Based on a density-based coupled explicit algorithm, combined with a third-order MUSCL scheme and the Roe averaged flux difference splitting method, the Navier–Stokes equations and the realizable k-ε turbulence model equations describing the air flow are numerically solved. The evolution of the dynamic wave and ring vortex systems is effectively captured and analyzed. The influence of incident shock Mach number, perforated-plate porosity, and plate number on the propagation and attenuation of the shock wave was studied by using pressure- and entropy-based attenuation rates. The results indicate that the reflection, diffraction, transmission, and interference behaviors of the leading shock wave and the superimposed effects due to the trailing secondary shock wave are the main reasons that cause the intensity of the leading shock wave to experience a complex process consisting of attenuation, local enhancement, attenuation, enhancement, and attenuation. The reflected shock interactions with transmitted shock induced ring vortices and jets lead to the deformation and local intensification of the shock wave. The formation of nearly steady jets following the array of perforated plates is attributed to the generation of an oscillation chamber for the inside dynamic wave system between two perforated plates. The vorticity diffusion, merging and splitting of vortex cores dissipate the wave energy. Furthermore, the leading transmitted shock wave attenuates more significantly whereas the reflected shock wave from the first plate of the array attenuates less significantly as the shock Mach number increases. The increase in the porosity weakens the suppression effects on the leading shock wave while increases the attenuation rate of the reflected shock wave. The first perforated plate in the array plays a major role in the attenuation of the shock wave.

Amplitude and phase measurements of femtosecond pulse splitting in nonlinear dispersive media

Frequency-resolved optical gating is used to characterize the propagation of intense femtosecond pulses in a nonlinear, dispersive medium. The combined effects of diffraction, normal dispersion, and cubic nonlinearity lead to pulse splitting. The role of the phase of the input pulse is studied. The results are compared with the predictions of a three-dimensional nonlinear Schr?dinger equation.     

Self-focusing of wave packets and envelope shock formation in nonlinear dispersive media

The self-action of three-dimensional wave packets is analyzed analytically and numerically under the conditions of competing diffraction, cubic nonlinearity, and nonlinear dispersion (dependence of group velocity on wave amplitude). A qualitative analysis of pulse evolution is performed by the moment method to find a sufficient condition for self-focusing. Self-action effects in an electromagnetically induced transparency medium (without cubic nonlinearity) are analyzed numerically. It is shown that the self-focusing of a wave packet is accompanied by self-steepening of the longitudinal profile and envelope shock formation. The possibility of envelope shock formation is also demonstrated for self-focusing wave packets propagating in a normally dispersive medium.     

Passive nonlinear reshaping towards parabolic pulses in the steady-state regime in optical fibers

The passive nonlinear reshaping in normally dispersive optical fibers in the steady-state regime is studied numerically. It is found that normal dispersion and self-phase modulation are able to provide pulse reshaping towards a parabolic pulse profile at the distances exceeding the optical wave breaking length. However, as compared to the similariton formation in active fibers the resulted pulse shape in passive fibers is strongly depended on the initial pulse parameters and nonlinear and dispersive fiber properties as well. The influence of initial pulse shape, initial chirp, third-order dispersion and loss on the parabolic pulse formation is studied consistently, and estimation of practical conditions which are needed for parabolic pulses formation in a passive fiber is provided.     

A splitting approach for the fully nonlinear and weakly dispersive Green–Naghdi model

The fully nonlinear and weakly dispersive Green–Naghdi model for shallow water waves of large amplitude is studied. The original model is first recast under a new formulation more suitable for numerical resolution. An hybrid finite volume and finite difference splitting approach is then proposed, which could be adapted to many physical models that are dispersive corrections of hyperbolic systems. The hyperbolic part of the equations is handled with a high-order finite volume scheme allowing for breaking waves and dry areas. The dispersive part is treated with a classical finite difference approach. Extensive numerical validations are then performed in one horizontal dimension, relying both on analytical solutions and experimental data. The results show that our approach gives a good account of all the processes of wave transformation in coastal areas: shoaling, wave breaking and run-up.     

Piston dispersive shock wave problem

The piston shock problem is a classical result of shock wave theory. In this work, the analogous dispersive shock wave (DSW) problem for a fluid described by the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation is analyzed. Asymptotic solutions are calculated for a piston (step potential) moving with uniform speed into a dispersive fluid at rest. In contrast to the classical case, there is a bifurcation of shock behavior where, for large enough piston velocities, the DSW develops a periodic wave train in its wake with vacuum points and a maximum density that remains fixed as the piston velocity is increased further. These results have application to Bose-Einstein condensates and nonlinear optics.

The structure of a shock electromagnetic wave synchronous with several waves propagating in coupled transmission lines with different types of dispersion

A shock electromagnetic wave is studied numerically in the case when its structure is equally defined by two or more synchronous waves. The analysis relies on the previously suggested electrodynamic system of two coupled transmission lines one of which is normally dispersive (coaxial line) and the other is anomalously dispersive (ladder-type bar slow-wave structure).     

Dispersive nature of high mach number collisionless plasma shocks: Poynting flux of oblique whistler waves

Whistler wave trains are observed in the foot region of high Mach number quasiperpendicular shocks. The waves are oblique with respect to the ambient magnetic field as well as the shock normal. The Poynting flux of the waves is directed upstream in the shock normal frame starting from the ramp of the shock. This suggests that the waves are an integral part of the shock structure with the dispersive shock as the source of the waves. These observations lead to the conclusion that the shock ramp structure of supercritical high Mach number shocks is formed as a balance of dispersion and nonlinearity.     

Time reversing solitary waves

We present new results for the time reversal of nonlinear pulses traveling in a random medium, in particular for solitary waves. We consider long water waves propagating in the presence of a spatially random depth. Both hyperbolic and dispersive regimes are considered. We demonstrate that in the presence of properly scaled stochastic forcing the solution to the nonlinear (shallow water) conservation law is regularized leading to a viscous shock profile. This enables time-reversal experiments beyond the critical time for shock formation. Furthermore, we present numerical experiments for the time-reversed refocusing of solitary waves in a regime where theory is not yet available. Solitary wave refocusing simulations are performed with a new Boussinesq model, both in transmission and in reflection.     

Dispersive shock waves in phase-mismatched second-harmonic generation

We investigate wave-breaking and dispersive shock wave formation driven by a pulse undergoing second-harmonic generation in a quadratic medium. We show that the process is accessible in the regime of high phase-mismatch (cascading limit) and weak dispersion. Insight into the phenomenon is obtained by means of a suitable hydrodynamic reduction of the equations that govern the mixing.     

The influence of a phase transition on the shock wave dynamics in nuclear matter

The propagation of shock waves in nuclear matter undergoing a phase transition is considered in the framework of hydrodynamical approach. It is shown that as a result of phase transition the splitting of the shock wave in two waves occurs in a certain region of energy of the colliding nuclei. Such a splitting may be manifested in energy and angular distributions of the reaction products.     

Mode splitting of a cavity with a high-density birefringence rubidium vapor in the superstrong coupling regime

The mode splitting in a system with Doppler-broadened high-density two-level atoms in the presence of magnetic field inside a relatively long optical cavity is studied in the superstrong coupling regime(atoms-cavity coupling strength g√N is near or larger than the cavity free-spectral range?FSR).The effect of a magnetic field applied along the quantization axis is used to break the polarization degeneracy of the cavity and thereby introduce birefringence(or Faraday rotation)into the medium.The cavity modes are further split in the presence of the magnetic field compared with the normal case of the multi-normal-mode splitting of the two-level system near the D2 line of87Rb.The dependence of the mode splitting on the magnetic field and the temperature is studied.The theoretical analysis according to the linear dispersion theory can provide a good explanation.
