On the theory of Langmuir waves in a quantum plasma

Nonlinear quantum-mechanical equations are derived for Langmuir waves in an isotropic electron collisionless plasma. A general analysis of dispersion relations is carried out for complex spectra of Langmuir waves and van Kampen waves in a quantum plasma with an arbitrary electron momentum distribution. Quantum nonlinear collisionless Landau damping in Maxwellian and degenerate plasmas is studied. It is shown that collisionless damping of Langmuir waves (including zero sound) occurs in collisionless plasmas due to quantum correction in the Cherenkov absorption condition, which is a purely quantum effect. Solutions to the quantum dispersion equation are obtained for a degenerate plasma.     

On the stability of nonlinear waves in integrable models

A new method of stability investigation is presented for solutions of nonlinear equations integrable with the help of the inverse scattering transform (IST). The stability problem for periodic nonlinear waves in weakly dispersive media is solved with respect to transverse perturbations. It is shown that for positive dispersion media one-dimensional waves are unstable, and for negative dispersion such waves are stable.     

Counterpropagation of waves with shock fronts in a nonlinear tissue-like medium

A numerical model for describing the counterpropagation of one-dimensional waves in a nonlinear medium with an arbitrary power law absorption and corresponding dispersion is developed. The model is based on general one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with absorption in the form of a time-domain convolution operator in the equation of state. The developed algorithm makes it possible to describe wave interactions in the presence of shock fronts in media like biological tissue. Numerical modeling is conducted by the finite difference method on a staggered grid; absorption and sound speed dispersion are taken into account using the causal memory function. The developed model is used for numerical calculations, which demonstrate the absorption and dispersion effects on nonlinear propagation of differently shaped pulses, as well as their reflection from impedance acoustic boundaries.     

Video solitons in a dispersive transmission line with the nonlinear capacitance of a p-n junction

Possible types of low-frequency electromagnetic solitary waves in a dispersive LC transmission line with a quadratic or cubic capacitive nonlinearity are investigated. The fourth-order nonlinear wave equation with ohmic losses is derived from the differential-difference equations of the discrete line in the continuum approximation. For a zero-loss line, this equation can be reduced to the nonlinear equation for a transmission line, the double dispersion equation, the Boussinesq equations, the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, and the modified KdV equation. Solitary waves in a transmission line with dispersion and dissipation are considered.     

Size-dependent dispersion characteristics in piezoelectric nanoplates with surface effects

In this paper, surface effects on the dispersion characteristics of elastic waves propagating in an infinite piezoelectric nanoplate are investigated by using the surface piezoelectricity model. Based on the surface piezoelectric constitutive theory, the presence of surface stresses and surface electric displacements exerting on the boundary conditions of the piezoelectric nanoplate is taken into account in the modified mechanical and electric equilibrium relations. The partial wave technique is employed to obtain the general solutions of governing equations, and the dispersion relations with surface effects are expressed in an explicit closed form. The impacts of surface piezoelectricity, residual surface stress and plate thickness on the propagation properties of elastic waves are analyzed in detail. Numerical results show that the dispersion behaviors in piezoelectric nanoplates are size-dependent, and there exists a critical plate thickness above which the surface effects may vanish.     

Propagation of surface waves at the interface between nonlinear MTMs and anisotropic materials

Metamaterials (MTMs), which have both negative permeability and negative permittivity, have potential applications in optoelectronics and communications. These materials are fabricated in laboratories which is an added advantage. The focus of this work is on the propagation of surface waves at the interface between nonlinear MTMs and anisotropic materials in the optical range. The dispersion equation is derived from Maxwell’s equations. The dispersion equation is solved numerically to study the characteristics of the propagated wave. Only TE modes are considered. The results display the dependence of the propagating waves on the characteristics of the structure composite materials.     

Dynamics of the plane and solitary waves in a Noguchi network:Effects of the nonlinear quadratic dispersion

We consider a modified Noguchi network and study the impact of the nonlinear quadratic dispersion on the dynamics of modulated waves. In the semi-discrete limit, we show that the dynamics of these waves are governed by a nonlinear cubic Schrodinger equation. From the graphical analysis of the coefficients of this equation, it appears that the nonlinear quadratic dispersion counterbalances the effects of the linear dispersion in the frequency domain. Moreover, we establish that this nonlinear quadratic dispersion provokes the disappearance of some regions of modulational instability in the dispersion curve compared to the results earlier obtained by Pelap et al.(Phys. Rev. E 91 022925(2015)). We also find that the nonlinear quadratic dispersion limit considerably affects the nature, stability, and characteristics of the waves which propagate through the system. Furthermore, the results of the numerical simulations performed on the exact equations describing the network are found to be in good agreement with the analytical predictions.     

On the steady-state structure of shock waves in elastic media and dielectrics

A simplified system of equations describing small-amplitude nonlinear quasi-transverse waves in an elastic weakly anisotropic medium with complicated dissipation and dispersion is considered. A simplified system of equations derived for describing the propagation and evolution of one-dimensional weakly nonlinear electromagnetic waves in a weakly anisotropic dielectric is found to be of the same type as the system of equations for quasi-transverse waves in an elastic medium. The steady-state structure of small-amplitude quasi-transverse discontinuities and a large number of admissible discontinuity types is studied using this system of equations. Viscous dissipation is traditionally assumed to be described in terms of the next differentiation order as compared to those constituting the hyperbolic system describing long waves, while the terms responsible for dispersion have an even higher differentiation order.     

Modelling of nonlinear surface gravity waves under shallow-water conditions with account of dispersion

The modelling of nonlinear surface gravity waves under shallow-water conditions with account of dispersion is described in this study. On the basis of the analytic expressions obtained for the horizontal velocity of medium particles, the profile evolution of nonlinear surface gravity waves during its propagation under shallow-water conditions is described. The profiles of surface gravity waves during their propagation in the bay with account of dispersion are given.     

Modulation instabilities in a system of four coupled, nonlinear Schrödinger equations

The modulation instability of continuous waves for a system of four coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations, two of which are in the unstable regime, is studied. In earlier studies, plane or continuous waves for a system of two coupled, nonlinear Schrödinger equations is shown to exhibit modulation instability (MI), even if both modes are in the normal dispersion regime, provided that the coefficient of cross phase modulation (XPM) is larger than that of self phase modulation (SPM). Requirements for MI in this system of four coupled, nonlinear Schrödinger equations can be relaxed. MI can occur even if the magnitude of XPM is less than that of SPM, and the magnitude of instability is generally larger than that of each mode alone. The implications for parametric process and wavelength exchange in optical physics with two pump waves are discussed.     

Equations describing the interaction between whistlers and magnetosonic waves

Simplified equations for the nonlinear interaction between whistlers and magnetosonic waves are formulated. These equations describe all the different branches for modulational instabilities of whistler waves, and lead to dispersion relations which are the same as those found from the full set of equations. Our new equations are much more convenient than previously used equations in describing nonlinear whistler wave phenomena.     

Dispersion and nonlinear frequancy shift of natural waves in the Bose–Einstein condensate

Quantum mechanics equations for a system of the Bose particles are represented in the form of material field equations. A nonlinear equation for the macroscopic one-particle wave function is derived. Using the Krylov–Bogolyubov–Mitropol’skii method for equations in partial derivatives, nonlinear waves in the Bose–Einstein condensate are investigated. In the cubic approximation, dispersion relations for waves are derived and nonlinear frequency shift is calculated in the first- and third-order approximations for the interaction radius.     

Self-Action of Wave Beams Containing Shock Fronts

We briefly review the effects of nonlinear self-action of beams of strongly distorted waves containing steep shock fronts. The features of inertial self-actions of periodic sawtooth waves in quadratic nonlinear media without dispersion are discussed. These phenomena can be caused by an acoustic wind or thermal lens formed as a result of the nonlinear dissipation at the shock fronts. Instantaneous self-actions are analyzed on the examples of periodic trapezoidal waves, which are formed in cubic nonlinear media and contain alternating compression and rarefaction shocks, and a single-pulse signal containing a shock front. Mathematical models and solutions to the corresponding nonlinear equations are given. A qualitative comparison with optical self-action phenomena and with available experimental data is performed.     

Instability and evolution of nonlinearly interacting water waves

We consider the modulational instability of nonlinearly interacting two-dimensional waves in deep water, which are described by a pair of two-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger equations. We derive a nonlinear dispersion relation. The latter is numerically analyzed to obtain the regions and the associated growth rates of the modulational instability. Furthermore, we follow the long term evolution of the latter by means of computer simulations of the governing nonlinear equations and demonstrate the formation of localized coherent wave envelopes. Our results should be useful for understanding the formation and nonlinear propagation characteristics of large-amplitude freak waves in deep water.     

TE waves in a symmetric dielectric slab waveguide with a Kerr-like nonlinear permittivity

The propagation characteristics of TE waves guided by a film with a Kerr-like nonlinear permittivity are investigated theoretically. The dispersion equations for positive and negative nonlinear coefficients are derived by introducing the maximum field amplitude as a parameter for the nonlinearity. Typical numerical results for dispersion characteristics are shown. For a hollow waveguide with positive nonlinear coefficient, the threshold power flow is determined numericlly from the viewpoint of applications to optical power clipping. It is found that the threshold power flow is proportional to the square root of the unperturbed permittivity difference between the film, and cladding.     

Low-frequency surface wave propagation along plane boundaries in fluid-saturated porous media

A method of the mechanics of a fluid-saturated porous medium is used to study the propagation of harmonic surface waves along the free boundary of such a medium, along the boundary between a porous medium and a fluid, and along the boundary between two porous half-spaces. It is shown that, at low frequencies (i.e., for waves with frequencies lower than the Biot characteristic frequency), the corresponding dispersion equations in zero-order approximation are reduced to the equations for an “equivalent” elastic medium. For the wave numbers of surface waves, corrections taking into account the generation of longitudinal waves of the second kind at the boundary are calculated. Examples of numerical solutions of dispersion equations for rock are presented.     

Generalized dispersion relations for nonlinear slab-guided waves

The propagation of nonlinear guided waves in a slab configuration with arbitrary intensity-dependent dielectric functions is considered. General expressions for the dispersion relations and the guided power flux are derived without explicit integration of the nonlinear Helmholtz equations. One example is investigated in greater detail.
