In this paper, we introduce techniques for animating explosions and their effects. The primary effect of an explosion is a disturbance that causes a shock wave to propagate through the surrounding medium. This disturbance determines the…
Aims: Emission of radio waves from plasmas through plasma emission with fundamental and harmonic frequencies is a familiar process known from solar type II radio bursts. Current models assume the existence of counterstreaming electron beam…
We introduce the stochastic band structure, a method giving the dispersion relation for waves propagating in periodic media or along waveguides, and subject to material loss or radiation damping. Instead of considering an explicit or…

Chemical waves constitute a known class of dissipative structures emerging in reaction-diffusion systems. They play a crucial role in biology, spreading information rapidly to synchronize and coordinate biological events. We develop a…
We consider the radiation emitted in a collision of shock waves, in D-dimensional General Relativity (GR), and describe a remarkably simple pattern, hinting at a more fundamental structure, unveiled by the introduction of the parameter D.
An approach for the description of stochastic systems is derived. Some of the variables in the system are studied forward in time, others backward in time. The approach is based on a perturbation expansion in the strength of the coupling…
The structure of whistler precursor in a quasi-perpendicular shock is studied within two-fluid approach in one-dimensional case. The complete set of equations is reduced to the KdV equation, if no dissipation is included. With a…
In a $\delta-$shock model, a system subject to randomly occurring shocks, the system fails when the time between two successive shocks lies below a threshold $\delta$. In this note, we study the generalization of this model where such…
We report on experimental observations of the bending of a dust acoustic shock wave around a dust void region. This phenomenon occurs as a planar shock wavefront encounters a compressible obstacle in the form of a void whose size is larger…
For any kind of wave phenomenon one can find ways to derive the respective dispersion relation from experimental observations and measurements. This dispersion relation determines the structure of the wave equation and thus characterizes…
The formation of a singularity in a compressible gas, as described by the Euler equation, is characterized by the steepening, and eventual overturning of a wave. Using a self-similar description in two space dimensions, we show that the…
