Stationary and quasi-stationary waves in even-order dissipative systems

A new equation was recently suggested by Rudenko and Robsman [1] for describing the nonlinear wave propagation in scattering media that are characterized by weak sound signal attenuation proportional to the fourth power of frequency. General self-similar properties of the solutions to this equation were studied. It was shown that stationary solutions to this equation in the form of a shock wave exhibit unusual oscillations around the shock front, as distinct from the classical Burgers equation. Here, similar solutions are studied in detail for nonlinear waves in even-order dissipative media; namely, the solutions are compared for the media with absorption proportional to the second, fourth, and sixth powers of frequency. Based on the numerical results and the self-similar properties of the solutions, the fine structure of the shock front of stationary waves is studied for different absorption laws and magnitudes. It is shown that the amplitude and number of oscillations appearing in the stationary wave profile increase with increasing power of the frequency-dependent absorption term. For initial disturbances in the form of a harmonic wave and a pulse, quasi-stationary solutions are obtained at the stage of fully developed discontinuities and the evolution of the profile and width of the shock wave front is studied. It is shown that the smoothening of the shock front in the course of wave propagation is more pronounced when the absorption law is quadratic in frequency.

Heavy-and light-nuclei acoustic dressed shock waves in white dwarfs

In this investigation, the evolution of heavy-and light-nuclei acoustic (HLNA) dressed shock waves (DSWs) due to the contribution of higher order of nonlinearity and dissipation effects has been examined in a degenerate quantum plasma composed of inertial heavy as well as light nuclei and inertia-less ultra-relativistic degenerate electrons. By employing the reductive perturbation method, the nonlinear Burgers equation is derived. Further, an inhomogeneous Burgers-type equation accounting for the higher order contributions of nonlinearity and dissipation is also derived. With the insertion of higher order effects, a new humped type or dressed shock structures are evolved. The influence of different plasma parameters on the dynamical evolution of the HLNA-DSWs is examined. It is observed that these plasma parameters play significant role on the characteristics of HLNA-DSWs and their corresponding electric fields. The findings of present investigation may be applicable to provide a new insight to understand the evolution of HLNA-DSWs in different dense astrophysical regions such as white dwarfs.

Nonlinear interaction phenomenon of dust acoustic solitary and shock waves in dusty plasma

The effects of head-on collision on dust acoustic (DA) solitary and shock waves in dusty plasma are investigated considering positively charged inertial dust, Boltzmann distributed negatively charged heavy ions, positively charged light ions, and superthermal electrons in the plasma system. The nonlinear Korteweg-de-Vries (KdV) Burger equations are derived taking the extended Poincaré-Lighthill-Kuo method into account to study the characteristic properties of nonlinearity and production of solitary shock due to collisions. The study reveals that the amplitudes and widths of the DA shock waves are decreasing with increasing viscosity, electron to dust density ratio, and dust to ion temperature ratio, while they are increasing due to the presence of superthermal electrons. The nonlinearity of DA waves are enhanced with increasing density ratio of electron to dust and temperature ratio of dust to ion and electron, respectively, but it is reducing with superthermal electrons. The phase shifts of DA solitary waves are found to decrease with rising superthermality of electrons and increase with the density ratio of electron to dust.

Parametric study of cylindrical and spherical dust ion acoustic shock waves with two temperature electrons in dusty plasma relevant to Saturn's E ring

We have performed numerical analysis of the one-dimensional dynamics of the cylindrical/spherical dust ion acoustic shock waves in unmagnetized dusty plasma consisting of positive ions, immobile dust particles, and nonextensive distributed cold and hot electrons. A multiple-scale expansion method is used to derive Burgers Equation (BE) and modified Burgers equation (MBE) by including higher order nonlinearity. The basic characteristics of the shock waves have been analysed numerically and graphically for different physical parameters relevant to Saturn' E ring through 2D figures. The parametric dependence of dust ion acoustic shock waves on some plasma parameters nonextensive index, density, and temperature of cold and hot electrons, concentration of dust particles, thermal effects and kinematic viscosity of ions is explored. Furthermore, it is found that the nonplanar geometry effects have an important impact on the establishment of shock waves. The amplitude of the wave decreases faster as one departs away from the axis of the cylinder or centre of the sphere. Such decaying behaviour continues as time progresses. It is also found that an increasing dust concentration decreases the amplitude of the dust ion acoustic shock waves.     

Higher order corrections and temperature effects to ion acoustic shock waves in quantum degenerate electron-ion plasma

The contribution of higher-order nonlinearity and dissipation to nonlinear ion acoustic shock waves (IASWs) is investigated by using the reductive perturbation technique in dense electron-ion plasma. The model consists of degenerate electrons (being either ultrarelativistic or nonrelativistic) and nonrelativistic ion fluid. A nonlinear Burger equation and a linear inhomogeneous Burger-type equation are derived. The inclusion of the higher-order corrections results in creating new shock wave structures, humped IASWs. It is found that the kinematic viscosity and the equilibrium ion number density play important roles in the basic features of the produced IA shocks and the associated electric fields. These findings are devoted to explaining the observed waves propagating in the outer periphery of compact dense stars which mostly consists of hydrogen and degenerate electrons.     

Ionisation of metastable 3P-state hydrogen atom by electron with exchange effects

Propagation of nonlinear shock waves for the generalised Oskolkov equation and dynamic motions of the perturbed Oskolkov equation are investigated. Employing the unified method, a collection of exact shock wave solutions for the generalised Oskolkov equations is presented. Collocation finite element method is applied to the generalised Oskolkov equation for checking the accuracy of the proposed method by two test problems including the motion of shock wave and evolution of waves with Gaussian and undular bore initial conditions. Considering an external periodic perturbation, the dynamic motions of the perturbed generalised Oskolkov equation are studied depending on the system parameters with the help of phase portrait and time series plot. The perturbed generalised Oskolkov equation exhibits period-3, quasiperiodic and chaotic motions for some special values of the system parameters, whereas the generalised Oskolkov equation presents shock waves in the absence of external periodic perturbation.
