We report on the experimental observation of solitons propagating along a torus of fluid. We show that such a periodic system leads to significant differences compared to the classical plane geometry. In particular, we highlight the…

We claim that changes of scales and fine-structure could increase from multisoliton behavior of internal waves dynamics and, further, in the so-called "wave mixing". We consider initial-boundary problems for Euler equations with a…

Interfacial internal waves in a stratified fluid excited by periodic free-surface perturbations in a closed tank are studied experimentally. Barotropic-baroclinic energy conversion is induced by the presence of a bottom obstacle. The…

We investigate the evolution of interfaces among phases of the interstellar medium with different temperature. It is found that, for some initial conditions, the dynamical effects related to conductive fronts are very important even if…

We investigate the dynamics of the sine-Gordon solitons perturbed by spatiotemporal external forces. We prove the existence of internal (shape) modes of sine-Gordon solitons when they are in the presence of inhomogeneous space-dependent…

Unraveling real eigenfrequencies in non-Hermitian $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians has opened new avenues in quantum physics, photonics, and most recently, phononics. However, the existing literature squarely focuses on exploiting such…

The self-consistent spatiotemporal evolution of drift wave (DW) radial envelope and zonal flow (ZF) amplitude is investigated in a slab model [1]. Stationary solution of the coupled partial differential equations in a simple limit yields…

The evolution of surface gravity waves is driven by nonlinear interactions that trigger an energy cascade similarly to the one observed in hydrodynamic turbulence. This process, known as wave turbulence, has been found to display anomalous…

We study water waves propagating over a smooth obstacle in a fluid of varying depth, motivated by the observation that submerged islands in the ocean act as effective lenses that increase the amplitude and destructive power of tsunami waves…

One way to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of solids is to induce additional phonon surface scattering through nanostructures. However, how phonons interact with boundaries, especially at the atomic level, is not well understood. In…
