A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to study the propagation of soundwaves in a fluid. Soundwaves are generated by a sinusoidally oscillating wall and annihilated by a locally applied Langevin thermostat near the opposite…
We provide a detailed numerical study of various issues pertaining to the dynamics of the Burgers equation perturbed by a weak dispersive term: blow-up in finite time versus global existence, nature of the blow-up, existence for "long"…
Propagation of strong shock wave in the expanding universe is studied using approximate analytic, and exact numerical solution of self-similar equations. Both solutions have similar properties, which change qualitatively, depending on the…
We propose an alternative method for one-dimensional continuum diffusion models with spatially variable (heterogeneous) diffusivity. Our method, which extends recent work on stochastic diffusion, assumes the constant-coefficient homogenized…
We examine the stability of self-similar solutions for an accelerating relativistic blast wave which is generated by a point explosion in an external medium with a steep radial density profile of a power-law index > 4.134. These…
We study the propagation of a Newtonian shock in a spherically symmetric, homologously expanding ejecta. We focus on media with a steep power-law density profile of the form $\rho \propto t^{-3}v^{-\alpha}$, with $\alpha>5$, where $v$ is…
The propagation of the dispersive shock waves (DSWs) is investigated in the cylindrical Gardner (cG) equation, which is obtained by employing a similarity reduction to the two space one time (2+1) dimensional Gardner-Kadomtsev-Petviashvili…
We present an exact treatment of wave propagation in some inhomogeneous thin films with highly space-dependent dielectric constant. It is based on a space transformation which replaces the physical space by the optical path. In the new…
The problem of shock induced ignition by a piston is addressed in the framework of Fickett's model for reactive compressible flows, i.e., the reactive form of Burgers' equation. An induction-reaction two-step chain-branching model is used…
We present a numerical study of detonation propagation in unconfined explosive charges shaped as an annular arc (rib). Steady detonation in a straight charge propagates at constant speed but when it enters an annular section, it goes…
We study the effect of discrete symmetry breaking in inhomogeneous scattering media within the framework of generic wave propagation. Our focus is on one-dimensional scattering potentials exhibiting local symmetries. We find a class of…
We study an inverse source problem for the acoustic wave equation in a random waveguide. The goal is to estimate the source of waves from measurements of the acoustic pressure at a remote array of sensors. The waveguide effect is due to…
In current scientific and technological scenario, studies of transmittance of surface waves across structured interfaces have gained some wind amidst applications to metasurfaces, electronic edge-waves, crystal grain boundaries, etc. The…
We propose a time-domain boundary integral method to model linear wave propagation with refractive, focusing, and Doppler effects arising from medium heterogeneities and moving obstacles. In contrast to existing techniques, our method…
We consider a nonhomogeneous Burgers equation with time variable coefficients, and obtain an explicit solution of the general initial value problem in terms of solution to a corresponding linear ODE. Special exact solutions such as…
We investigate how the coherent spreading of the center of mass wave function of a particle, such as an atom, molecule or ion, affects the particle's interaction with fields such as the electromagnetic field or a phonon field, in view also…
The long time behavior of the dynamics of a fast-slow system of ordinary differential equations is examined. The system is derived from a spatial discretization of a Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers type equation, with fast dispersion and slow…
A minimal model for curved detonations is studied, illustrating the role of the reaction rate on the detonation speed and its propagation limits. The model is based on a simple extension of the minimal Fickett toy model for detonations…
We show that converging spherical and cylindrical shock waves may ignite a detonation wave in a combustible medium, provided the radius at which the shocks become strong exceeds a critical radius, R_c. An approximate analytic expression for…
The paper investigates shock-induced vortical flows within inhomogeneous media of nonuniform thermodynamic properties. Numerical simulations are performed using an Eularian type mathematical model for compressible multi-component flow…
