We consider the conditions under which solitary waves can exist in elongated clouds of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms. General expressions are derived for the velocity, characteristic size, and spatial profile of solitary waves, and the low-…
Wave kinetic theory has been developed to describe the statistical dynamics of weakly nonlinear, dispersive waves. However, we show that systems which are generally dispersive can have resonant sets of wave modes with identical group…
A central mechanism of linearised two dimensional shear instability can be described in terms of a nonlinear, action-at-a-distance, phase-locking resonance between two vorticity waves which propagate counter to their local mean flow as well…
We study wave turbulence in systems with two special properties: a large number of fields (large $N$) and a nonlinear interaction that is strongly local in momentum space. The first property allows us to find the kinetic equation at all…
We study experimentally the interaction between two solitary waves that approach one to another in a linear chain of spheres interacting via the Hertz potential. When these counter propagating waves collide, they cross each other and a…
The structure of discrete resonances in water-wave turbulence is studied. It is shown that the number of exact 4-wave resonances is huge (hundreds million) even in comparatively small spectral domain when both scale and angle energy…
In dispersive media, hydrodynamic singularities are resolved by coherent wavetrains known as dispersive shock waves (DSWs). Only dynamically expanding, temporal DSWs are possible in one-dimensional media. The additional degree of freedom…
We study the behavior of perturbations in a compressible one-dimensional inviscid gas with an ambient state consisting of constant pressure and periodically-varying density. We show through asymptotic analysis that long-wavelength…
Shock waves are supersonic disturbances propagating in a fluid and giving rise to dissipation and drag. Weak shocks, i.e., those of small amplitude, can be well described within the hydrodynamic approximation. On the other hand, strong…
Recent work on stochastic interacting particle systems with two particle species (or single-species systems with kinematic constraints) has demonstrated the existence of spontaneous symmetry breaking, long-range order and phase coexistence…
In this paper, a generalized (3 + 1)-dimensional variable-coefficient nonlinear-wave equation is studied in liquid with gas bubbles. Based on the Hirota's bilinear form and symbolic computation, lump and interaction solutions between lump…
We study the properties of mode-mode interactions for waves propagating in nonlinear disordered one-dimensional systems. We focus on i) the localization volume of a mode which defines the number of interacting partner modes, ii) the overlap…
We consider a perturbed energy critical focusing Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation in three dimensions. We construct solitary wave solutions for focusing subcritical perturbations as well as defocusing supercritical perturbations. The…
We consider a non-linear system modelling the dynamics of a linearly elastic body immersed in an incompressible viscous fluid, without damping on the elastic part. We prove local existence of strong solutions and global existence and…
Fifth-order 1D nonlinear dispersion equations are shown to admit blow-up formation of shock waves as well as rarefaction waves. The concepts of smooth deformations are applied to distinguish "entropy" shocks from smooth rarefaction waves.…
Singularities, i.e. places of discontinuities of parameters are extremely general objects appearing in electromagnetic waves and thus are the key to understanding fundamental wave processes. These structures commonly occur in purely…
The nonlinear dynamics of electron-acoustic localized structures in a collisionless and unmagnetized plasma consisting of "cool" inertial electrons, "hot" electrons having a kappa distribution, and stationary ions is studied. The…
Strong discontinuities in solutions of the gas dynamic equations under isentropic conditions, i.e., with continuity of entropy at the discontinuity, are examined. Solutions for a standard shock wave with continuity of energy at the…
This paper investigates solitary water waves propagating along the surface of a two-dimensional dielectric fluid with constant vorticity in the presence of an external electric field. We formulate the system as a nonlinear free boundary…
The motivation of this study is to find the Riemann solutions of the Aw-Rascle model with a more realistic version of extended Chaplygin gas. Firstly, we establish the Riemann solutions with two different structures, viz., a shock wave…
