The time asymptotic stability for one-dimensional relaxed compressible Navier-Stokes equations is studied. We show that the composite waves of viscous shock and rarefaction are asymptotically nonlinear stable with both small wave strength…
We consider persistence properties of solutions for a generalised wave equation including vibration in elastic rods and shallow water models, such as the BBM, the Dai's, the Camassa-Holm, and the Dullin-Gottwald-Holm equations, as well as…
It is shown that asymptotically consistent modifications of (Boussinesq-like) shallow water approximations, in order to improve their dispersive properties, can fail for uneven bottoms (i.e., the dispersion is actually not improved). It is…
Nonlinear acoustic evolution is often discussed in the context of wave-steepening that leads to shock formation, and is of special interest in applications where the shock continues to strengthen due to a narrowing of its channel or the…
In the present paper, it is shown that the large amplitude viscous shock wave is nonlinearly stable for isentropic Navier-Stokes equations, in which the pressure could be general and includes $\gamma$-law, and the viscosity coefficient is a…
In most classical fluids, shock waves are strongly dissipative, their energy being quickly lost through viscous damping. But in systems such as cold plasmas, superfluids, and Bose-Einstein condensates, where viscosity is negligible or…
Expanding blast waves are ubiquitous in many astronomical sources, such as supernovae remnants (SNRs), X-ray emitting binaries (XRBs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). I consider here the dynamics of such an expanding blast wave, both in the…

Spherical and cylindrical KdV-B equations have few known exact solutions, yet these solutions are hard to be interpreted physically. But these equations do have a family of diverging shock waves. Their properties such as asymptotic modes,…
We review various methods for the analysis of initial-value problems for integrable dispersive equations in the weak-dispersion or semiclassical regime. Some methods are sufficiently powerful to rigorously explain the generation of…
The theory of linear dispersive equations predicts that waves should spread out and disperse over time. However, it is a remarkable phenomenon, observed both in theory and practice, that once nonlinear effects are taken into account,…
The dynamics of wave groups is studied for long waves, using the framework of the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation and its generalizations. It is shown that the dynamics are richer than the corresponding results obtained just from the…
