Shock waves are steep wave fronts that are fundamental in nature, especially in high-speed fluid flows. When a shock hits an obstacle, or a flying body meets a shock, shock reflection/diffraction phenomena occur. In this paper, we show how…
Resonances in the reflection probability amplitude r(E) can occur in energy ranges in which the reflection probability R(E)=|r(E)|^2 is 1. They occur as the phase phi(E) defined by r(E) = t*(E)/t(E) = 1e^{i 2phi(E)} undergoes a rapid change…
We develop a new approach and employ it to establish the global existence and nonlinear structural stability of attached weak transonic shocks in steady potential flow past three-dimensional wedges; in particular, the restriction that the…
Quantum above-barrier reflection of ultra-cold atoms by the Rosen-Morse potential is analytically considered within the mean field Gross-Pitaevskii approximation. Reformulating the problem of reflectionless transmission as a quasi-linear…
In this paper we introduce some new copulas emerging from shock models. It was shown earlier that reflected maxmin copulas (RMM for short) are not just some specific singular copulas; they contain many important absolutely continuous…
We present the analysis of Ref.[1] of the radial (n) and angular-momentum (J) Regge trajectories for all light-quark meson states listed in the Particle Data Tables. The parameters of the trajectories are obtained with linear regression,…
We outline a recently developed theory of impedance-matching, or reflectionless excitation of arbitrary finite photonic structures in any dimension. It describes the necessary and sufficient conditions for perfectly reflectionless…
Magnetic reconnection is best known from observations of the Sun where it causes solar flares. Observations estimate the reconnection rate a small, but non-negligible fraction of the Alfv\'en speed, so-called fast reconnection. Until…
We analyse the signature and origin of transient structures embedded in the slow solar wind, and observed by the Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe (WISPR) during its first ten passages close to the Sun. WISPR provides a new in-depth…

Recent calculations by Quataert et al. (2002) found that the growth rates of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in a collisionless plasma can differ significantly from those calculated using MHD. This can be important in hot accretion…

Large positive (P) magnetoresistance (MR) has been observed in parallel magnetic fields in a single 2D layer in a delta-doped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure with a variable-range-hopping (VRH) mechanism of conductivity. Effect of large PMR is…
The focus of this study is to investigate primary and secondary bifurcations to weakly nonlinear flows (weak branch) in convective rotating spheres in a regime where only strongly nonlinear oscillatory sub- and super-critical flows (strong…
The zig-zag symmetry transition is a phase transition in 1D quantum wires, in which a Wigner lattice of electrons transitions to two staggered lattices. Previous studies model this transition as a Luttinger liquid coupled to a Majorana…
We study the V-shaped wake (Mach cone) formed by a cylindrical rod moving through a thin, vertically vibrated granular layer. The wake, analogous to a shock (hydraulic jump) in shallow water, appears for rod velocities v_R greater than a…
The effect of the transverse self-force in a relativistic beam has been studied in the earlier paper of the author [1]. However, the analysis of [1] missed an important observation and has lead to an incorrect estimate of the emittance…
Shock waves are fundamental in nature. One of the most fundamental problems in fluid mechanics is shock reflection-diffraction by wedges. The complexity of reflection-diffraction configurations was first reported by Ernst Mach in 1878. The…
Resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RRMHD) simulations are applied to investigate the system evolution of relativistic magnetic reconnection. A time-split Harten--Lan--van Leer method is employed. Under a localized resistivity, the…
This work aims to provide a more complete understanding of the resonance mechanisms that occur in turbulent jets at high subsonic Mach number, as shown by Towne et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 825, 2017, pp. 1113-1152). Resonance was suggested…
