Nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in magnetized plasmas in presence of energetic electrons and positively charged dust

A theoretical investigation has been carried out for exploring different features of ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves in a three-component magnetized plasma containing a mixture of thermal and nonthermal (energetic) inertialess electrons, warm inertial ions, and positively charged stationary dust particles. The standard Korteweg-de Vries (Burgers) equation has been derived by employing the reductive perturbation method, and its solitary (shock) wave solution has been derived and examined analytically as well as numerically. The latter exhibits characteristic properties (amplitude, width, speed, and polarity) of the ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves. It has been shown that the ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves are significantly modified by different plasma parameters (viz. parameter measuring the ratio of dust charge density to ion charge density, parameter measuring the fraction of energetic electrons, parameter measuring ion or electron temperature, and the external magnetic field). The present investigation may help in understanding the physics of various nonlinear phenomena formed in many space plasma systems, (viz. earth's mesosphere, solar wind, and cometary tails) and laboratory devices (laboratory experiments of Samarian et al., Phys. rev. E. 64 , 056407 [2001] and of Fortov et al., New J. Physics 5 , 102 [2003]).     

From bell-shaped solitary wave to W/M-shaped solitary wave solutions in an integrable nonlinear wave equation

The bifurcation theory of dynamical systems is applied to an integrable nonlinear wave equation. As a result, it is pointed out that the solitary waves of this equation evolve from bell-shaped solitary waves to W/M-shaped solitary waves when wave speed passes certain critical wave speed. Under different parameter conditions, all exact explicit parametric representations of solitary wave solutions are obtained.     

Variable separation solutions and new solitary wave structures to the (1+1)-dimensional equations of long-wave－short-wave resonant interaction

A variable separation approach is proposed and extended to the (1+1)-dimensional physical system. The variable separation solutions of (1+1)-dimensional equations of long-wave－short-wave resonant interaction are obtained. Some special type of solutions such as soliton solution, non-propagating solitary wave solution, propagating solitary wave solution, oscillating solitary wave solution are found by selecting the arbitrary function appropriately.     

Solitary wave solutions for the regularized long-wave equation

The regularized long-wave equation has been solved numerically using the collocation method based on the Adams-Moulton method for the time integration and quintic B-spline functions for the space integration. The method is tested on the problems of propagation of a solitary wave and interaction of two solitary waves. The three conserved quantities of motion are calculated to determine the conservation properties of the proposed algorithm. The L _?? error norm is used to measure the difference between exact and numerical solutions. A comparison with the previously published numerical methods is performed.     

Generation of soliton oscillations in nonlinear quadratic materials

We show analytically and numerically that the generation of long-lasting soliton oscillations in resonant chi(2) optical materials possesses a threshold for the amplitude of a fundamental wave. The persistent oscillations of solitary waves reported by Etrich et al. [Phys. Rev. E 54, 4321 (1996)] are found to appear for finite values of the wave amplitude.     

Propagation and interaction of ion-acoustic solitary waves in a quantum electron-positron-ion plasma

This paper discusses the existence of ion-acoustic solitary waves and their interaction in a dense quantum electron-positron-ion plasma by using the quantum hydrodynamic equations.The extended Poincar’e-Lighthill-Kuo perturbation method is used to derive the Korteweg-de Vries equations for quantum ion-acoustic solitary waves in this plasma.The effects of the ratio of positrons to ions unperturbation number density p and the quantum diffraction parameter H e (H p) on the newly formed wave during interaction,and the phase shift of the colliding solitary waves are studied.It is found that the interaction between two solitary waves fits linear superposition principle and these plasma parameters have significantly influence on the newly formed wave and phase shift of the colliding solitary waves.The investigations should be useful for understanding the propagation and interaction of ion-acoustic solitary waves in dense astrophysical plasmas (such as white dwarfs) as well as in intense laser-solid matter interaction experiments.     

Dynamical Analysis and Exact Solutions of a New (2+1)-Dimensional Generalized Boussinesq Model Equation for Nonlinear Rossby Waves*

In this paper, we study the higher dimensional nonlinear Rossby waves under the generalized beta effect. Using methods of the multiple scales and weak nonlinear perturbation expansions [Q. S. Liu, et al., Phys. Lett. A 383 (2019) 514], we derive a new $(2+1)$-dimensional generalized Boussinesq equation from the barotropic potential vorticity equation. Based on bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems and the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations, the dynamical analysis and exact traveling wave solutions of the new generalized Boussinesq equation are obtained. Moreover, we provide the numerical simulations of these exact solutions under some conditions of all parameters. The numerical results show that these traveling wave solutions are all the Rossby solitary waves.     

Interfacial waves with free-surface boundary conditions: an approach via a model equation

In a two-fluid system where the lower fluid is bounded below by a rigid bottom and the upper fluid is bounded above by a free surface, two kinds of solitary waves can propagate along the interface and the free surface: classical solitary waves characterized by a solitary pulse or generalized solitary waves with nondecaying oscillations in their tails in addition to the solitary pulse. The classical solitary waves move faster than the generalized solitary waves. The origin of the nonlocal solitary waves can be understood from a physical point of view. The dispersion relation for the above system shows that short waves can propagate at the same speed as a “slow” solitary wave. The interaction between the solitary wave and the short waves creates a nonlocal solitary wave. In this paper, the interfacial-wave problem is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations by using a classical perturbation method, which takes into consideration the possible resonance between short waves and “slow” solitary waves. In the past, classical Korteweg–de Vries type models have been derived but cannot deal with the resonance. All solutions of the new system of model equations, including classical as well as generalized solitary waves, are constructed. The domain of validity of the model is discussed as well. It is also shown that fronts connecting two conjugate states cannot occur for “fast” waves. For “slow” waves, fronts exist but they have ripples in their tails.     

Anomalous dispersion in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction: Experiments and modeling

We report results on dispersion relations and instabilities of traveling waves in excitable systems. Experiments employ solutions of the 1,4-cyclohexanedione Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction confined to thin capillary tubes which create a pseudo-one-dimensional system. Theoretical analyses focus on a three-variable reaction-diffusion model that is known to reproduce qualitatively many of the experimentally observed dynamics. Using continuation methods, we show that the transition from normal, monotonic to anomalous, single-overshoot dispersion curves is due to an orbit flip bifurcation of the solitary pulse homoclinics. In the case of “wave stacking”, this anomaly induces attractive pulse interaction, slow solitary pulses, and faster wave trains. For “wave merging”, wave trains break up in the wake of the slow solitary pulse due to an instability of wave trains at small wavelength. A third case, “wave tracking” is characterized by the non-existence of solitary waves but existence of periodic wave trains. The corresponding dispersion curve is a closed curve covering a finite band of wavelengths.     

A kind of extended Korteweg——de Vries equation and solitary wave solutions for interfacial waves in a two-fluid system

This paper considers interfacial waves propagating along the interface between a two-dimensional two-fluid with a flat bottom and a rigid upper boundary. There is a light fluid layer overlying a heavier one in the system, and a small density difference exists between the two layers. It just focuses on the weakly non-linear small amplitude waves by introducing two small independent parameters: the nonlinearity ratio $\varepsilon $, represented by the ratio of amplitude to depth, and the dispersion ratio $\mu $, represented by the square of the ratio of depth to wave length, which quantify the relative importance of nonlinearity and dispersion. It derives an extended KdV equation of the interfacial waves using the method adopted by Dullin {\it et al} in the study of the surface waves when considering the order up to $O(\mu ^2)$. As expected, the equation derived from the present work includes, as special cases, those obtained by Dullin {\it et al} for surface waves when the surface tension is neglected. The equation derived using an alternative method here is the same as the equation presented by Choi and Camassa. Also it solves the equation by borrowing the method presented by Marchant used for surface waves, and obtains its asymptotic solitary wave solutions when the weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive terms are balanced in the extended KdV equation.     

Decaying solitary waves propagating in one-dimensional damped granular chain

We numerically investigate the nonlinear waves propagating in a one-dimensional particle chain when the damping effect is taken into account. It is found that decaying solitary waves exist, in which the amplitude of the wave decreases exponentially as time increases. Meanwhile, the velocity of the solitary wave also slows down as time goes. This result implies that the damping coefficient is an important parameter in such a nonlinear system. Theoretical analysis has also been done by the reductive perturbation method. The result indicates that the nonlinear waves propagating in such a system can be described by the damped KdV equation.     

Solitary wave complexes in two-component condensates

Axisymmetric three-dimensional solitary waves in uniform two-component mixture Bose-Einstein condensates are obtained as solutions of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations with equal intracomponent but varying intercomponent interaction strengths. Several families of solitary wave complexes are found: (1) vortex rings of various radii in each of the components; (2) a vortex ring in one component coupled to a rarefaction solitary wave of the other component; (3) two coupled rarefaction waves; (4) either a vortex ring or a rarefaction pulse coupled to a localized disturbance of a very low momentum. The continuous families of such waves are shown in the momentum-energy plane for various values of the interaction strengths and the relative differences between the chemical potentials of two components. Solitary wave formation, their stability, and solitary wave complexes in two dimensions are discussed.     

Interactions between neighboring combined solitary waves

In this paper, the interactions of three types of adjacent combined solitary waves, which are conveniently called Types I, II, and III combined solitary wave, respectively, are numerically investigated. The results show that their interactions exhibit quite different properties. For Type I combined solitary waves, the interaction is quite weaker than that of dark solitons for the standard nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Interestingly, the interaction can be well suppressed when they are reduced to the pure dark ones. But for Type II combined solitary waves, the interaction is much stronger than those of Types I and III combined solitary waves and is very difficult to be suppressed. Surprisingly, two adjacent Type III combined solitary waves, both brightlike and darklike ones, hardly interplay each other. These results imply that Type I pure dark solitary waves and Type III combined solitary waves may be regarded as appropriate candidates for information carriers. In addition, the propagation of pulse trains composed of combined solitary waves is investigated.     

Varieties of solitons and solitary waves

A summary is presented of the principal types of completely integrable partial differential equations having soliton solutions. Each type is derived from an appropriate physical model of an electromagnetic wave problem, with the intention to show how known mathematical results apply to a coherent class of physical problems in electromagnetic waves. The non-linear Schrödinger (NS) equation appears when the induced non-linear dielectric polarization is expanded in a series of powers of the electric field, only the linear and third-order polarizations are retained, and the temporal spectrum of the wave is a narrow band far removed from any resonance of the medium. The sine-Gordon equation appears from a similar optical model of propagation in a dielectric consisting of identical 2-level atomic systems, but resonance occurs between the carrier frequency of the wave and the transition frequency of the atoms. The Boussinesq and Korteweg– de Vries equations appear at different levels of approximation to a potential wave on a transmission line having a non-linear capacitance such that the charge stored is a non-linear function of the line potential. In all cases the evolution variable is the propagation distance; the transverse variable is time, but in the case of the NS equation it may alternatively be a spatial coordinate, giving rise to the possibility of spatial solitons as well as temporal solitons for NS-type problems. Two examples are derived of non-integrable Hamiltonian systems having spatial solitary waves, namely the second-order cascade interaction and vector spatial solitary waves of the third-order interaction, and a brief survey of the analytical solutions for the plane waves and solitary waves of these two types is presented. Finally, the addition of a second spatial dimension to the non-linear transmission line problem leads to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations, and a further approximation for weakly modulated travelling waves leads to the Davey–Stewartson equations. Both of these completely integrable systems support combined spatial–temporal solitons.     

Study on Solitary Waves of a General Boussinesq Model

In this paper, we employ the bifurcation method of dynamical systems to study the solitary waves and periodic waves of a generalized Boussinesq equations. All possible phase portraits in the parameter plane for the travelling wave systems are obtained. The possible solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions and cusp waves for the general Boussinesq type fluid model are also investigated.     

On solutions of a Boussinesq-type equation with displacement-dependent nonlinearities: the case of biomembranes

Boussinesq-type wave equations involve nonlinearities and dispersion. In this paper a Boussinesq-type equation with displacement-dependent nonlinearities is presented. Such a model was proposed by Heimburg and Jackson for describing longitudinal waves in biomembranes and later improved by Engelbrecht, Tamm and Peets taking into account the microinertia of a biomembrane. The steady solution in the form of a solitary wave is derived and the influence of nonlinear and dispersive terms over a large range of possible sets of coefficients demonstrated. The solutions emerging from arbitrary initial inputs are found using the numerical simulation. The properties of emerging trains of solitary waves are analysed. Finally, the interaction of solitary waves which satisfy the governing equation is studied. The interaction process is not fully elastic and after several interactions radiation effects may be significant. This means that for the present case the solitary waves are not solitons in the strict mathematical sense. However, like in other cases known in solid mechanics, such solutions may be conditionally called solitons.     

Fully nonlinear ion-acoustic solitary waves in a magnetized plasma

The propagation of fully nonlinear ion-acoustic solitary waves in a magnetized plasma with cold ions and warm electrons is studied analytically. Necessary conditions for the existence of solitary waves in such a plasma were obtained by Yuet al. In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions are found.     

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.
