In this paper we address the stability of resonantly forced density waves in dense planetary rings. Already by Goldreich & Tremaine (1978) it has been argued that density waves might be unstable, depending on the relationship between the…
Debris flows often exhibit coherent wave structures-shock-like roll waves on steeper slopes and weaker, more sinusoidal dispersive pulses on gentler slopes. Coarse-rich heads raise basal resistance, whereas fines-rich tails lower it; in…

The magnetic energy of nonlinear Alfven waves in compressible plasmas may be ponderomotively coupled only to ion-acoustic quasi-modes which modulate the wave phase velocity and cause wave-front steepening. In the collisionless plasma with…
