This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability of a composite wave of two viscous shocks under spatially periodic perturbations for the 1-D full compressible Navier-Stokes equations. It is proved that as time increases, the solution…
Capillary waves are perhaps the simplest example to consider for an introduction to wave turbulence. Since the first paper by Zakharov and Filonenko (1967), capillary wave turbulence has been the subject of many studies but a didactic…
This article begins with an overview, then gives the precise definition of isotropic turbulence, and follows that with the basic conservation equations, in both real space and wavenumber space. These provide the foundations of all…
We compute time-periodic and relative-periodic solutions of the free-surface Euler equations that take the form of overtaking collisions of unidirectional solitary waves of different amplitude on a periodic domain. As a starting guess, we…
A new operator equation for periodic gravity waves on water of finite depth is derived and investigated; it is equivalent to Babenko's equation considered in \cite{KD}. Both operators in the proposed equation are nonlinear and depend on the…
A problem of linear surface waves discussed by Forbes(1984) initially gave rise to a singular integrodifferential equation over the real line. We have been able to transform this integrodifferential equation into a linear second order…
The final open part of the famous Strauss conjecture on semilinear wave equations of the form \Box u=|u|^{p}, i.e., blow-up theorem for the critical case in high dimensions was solved by Yordanov and Zhang, or Zhou independently. But the…
We applied canonical transformation to water wave equation not only to remove cubic nonlinear terms but to simplify drastically fourth order terms in Hamiltonian. This transformation explicitly uses the fact of vanishing exact four waves…
A class of water wave problems concerns the dynamics of the free interface separating an inviscid, incompressible and irrotational fluid, under the influence of gravity, from a zero-density region. In this note, we present some recent…
In this paper, we determine the transverse instability of periodic standing wave solutions for the generalized Schr\"odinger equation with fractional power nonlinearity. The existence of periodic waves is determined by using a constrained…
In 1982, Marshall P. Tulin published a report proposing a framework for reducing the equations for gravity waves generated by moving bodies into a single nonlinear differential equation solvable in closed form [Proc. 14th Symp. on Naval…
A Stokes wave is a traveling free-surface periodic water wave that is constant in the direction transverse to the direction of propagation. In 1981 McLean discovered via numerical methods that Stokes waves at infinite depth are unstable…
We analyze the Benney model for interaction of short and long waves in resonant water wave interactions. Our particular interest is in the periodic traveling waves, which we construct and study in detail. The main results are that, for all…
We consider a family of steady free-surface flow problems in two dimensions, concentrating on the effect of nonlinearity on the train of gravity waves that appear downstream of a disturbance. By exploiting standard complex variable…
We study the stability of standing wave solutions to a one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevsky equation with a periodic potential. We use some simple complex analysis and the Hamiltonian structure of the problem to give a simple rigorous criterion…
In the first part of this article, I summarise two centuries of research on turbulence. I also critically discuss some of the interpretations that are still in use, as turbulence remains an inherently non-linear problem that is still…
The propagation of waves in two space dimensions exhibited by two exact solutions to the field equations of Einstein's unified field theory is investigated under the assumption that the metric s_{ik} is the one already chosen by Kursunoglu…
We study the transverse dynamics of two-dimensional traveling periodic waves for the gravity--capillary water-wave problem. The governing equations are the Euler equations for the irrotational flow of an inviscid fluid layer with free…
Consider a two-dimensional stratified solitary wave propagating through a body of water that is bounded below by an impermeable ocean bed. In this work, we study how such a wave can be reconstructed from data consisting of the wave speed,…
