Based on the invariance of the phase of waves, plane waves was shown to propagate with negative frequencies in a medium which moves at superluminal speeds opposite to the propagation direction of plane waves. The validity of the invariance…

The behaviour of internal waves propagating in a background shear flow is studied in the case where the direction of shear is orthogonal to gravity. Ray-tracing theory is used to predict properties of the wave state at locations where…

The combined influence of oscillatory excitations and multiplicative stochastic perturbations of white noise type on isochronous systems in the plane is investigated. It is assumed that the intensity of perturbations decays with time and…

We develop a complete stability theory for two-dimensional periodic traveling waves of reaction-diffusion systems. More precisely, we identify a diffusive spectral stability assumption, prove that it implies nonlinear stability and provide…

We introduce a novel method to investigate the stability of wave packet dynamics under perturbations of the Hamiltonian. Our approach relies on semiclassical approximations, but is non-perturbative. Two separate contributions to the quantum…

Interactions between inertia-gravity waves and balanced flows lead to a spectral diffusion of wave action. Prior work has established that this diffusion is weak across constant frequency surfaces in three-dimensional settings, but can be…

We analyze long range wave propagation in three-dimensional random waveguides. The waves are trapped by top and bottom boundaries, but the medium is unbounded in the two remaining directions. We consider scalar waves, and motivated by…

The aim of this lecture is to consider a concrete problem, namely the identification of situations of invisibility in waveguides, to present techniques and tools that may be useful in various fields of applied mathematics. To be more…

We study the coherent propagation and incoherent diffusion of in-plane elastic waves in a two dimensional continuum populated by many, randomly placed and oriented, edge dislocations. Because of the Peierls-Nabarro force the dislocations…

We apply spectral stability theory to investigate nonlinear gravity waves in the atmosphere. These waves are determined by modulation equations that result from Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin theory. First, we establish that plane waves, which…

Space-time (ST) wave packets are coherent pulsed beams that propagate diffraction-free and dispersion-free by virtue of tight correlations introduced between their spatial and temporal spectral degrees of freedom. Less is known of the…

We present a class of diffraction-free partially coherent beams each member of which is comprised of a finite power, non-accelerating Airy bump residing on a statistically homogeneous, Gaussian-correlated background. We examine free-space…

Acoustic waves propagation of in composite of water with embedded double-layered silicone resin/silver rods is considered. Approximate values of effective dynamical constitutive parameters are obtained. Frequency ranges of simultaneous…

Transverse beam stability is strongly affected by the beam space charge. Usually it is analyzed with the rigid-beam model. However this model is only valid when a bare (not affected by the space charge) tune spread is small compared to the…

Coherent structures, such as solitary waves, appear in many physical problems, including fluid mechanics, optics, quantum physics, and plasma physics. A less studied setting is found in geophysics, where highly viscous fluids couple to…

Wave propagation through waveguides, quantum wires or films with a modest amount of disorder is in the semi-ballistic regime when in the transversal direction(s) almost no scattering occurs, while in the long direction(s) there is so much…

We present measurements on parametrically driven surface waves (Faraday waves) performed in the vicinity of a bi-critical point in parameter space, where modes with harmonic and subharmonic time dependence interact. The primary patterns are…

The propagation of a narrow-band signal radiated by a point source in a randomly layered absorbing medium is studied asymptotically in the weak-scattering limit. It is shown that in a disordered stratified medium that is homogeneous on…

In this paper we study the dispersive properties related to a model of peridynamic evolution, governed by a non local initial value problem, in the cases of two and three spatial dimensions. The features of the wave propagation…

We model strong forward shocks in young supernova remnants with efficient particle acceleration where a nonresonant instability driven by the cosmic ray current amplifies magnetic turbulence in the shock precursor. Particle injection,…
