The theory of optical dispersive shocks generated in propagation of light beams through photorefractive media is developed. Full one-dimensional analytical theory based on the Whitham modulation approach is given for the simplest case of…
Short-wave perturbations in a relaxing medium, governed by a special reduction of the Ostrovsky evolution equation, and later derived by Whitham, are studied using the gradient-holonomic integrability algorithm. The bi-Hamiltonicity and…
Extending our previous work in the strictly parabolic case, we show that a linearly unstable Lax-type viscous shock solution of a general quasilinear hyperbolic--parabolic system of conservation laws possesses a translation-invariant center…
We investigate a resonantly modulated harmonic mode, dispersively coupled to a nonequilibrium few-level quantum system. We focus on the regime where the relaxation rate of the system greatly exceeds that of the mode, and develop a quantum…
Dispersive shock waves (DSWs) in the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation and two dimensional Benjamin-Ono (2DBO) equation are considered using parabolic front initial data. Employing a front tracking type ansatz exactly reduces the study…
We establish nonlinear stability and asymptotic behavior of traveling periodic waves of viscous conservation laws under localized perturbations or nonlocalized perturbations asymptotic to constant shifts in phase, showing that long-time…
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…
Existence and admissibility of $\delta$-shock type solution is discussed for the following nonconvex strictly hyperbolic system arising in studues of plasmas: \pa_t u + \pa_x \big(\Sfrac{u^2+v^2}{2} \big) &=0 \pa_t v +\pa_x(v(u-1))&=0. The…
The problem of accelerating cosmic rays is one of fundamental importance, particularly given the uncertainty in the conditions inside the acceleration sites. Here we examine Diffusive Shock Acceleration in arbitrary turbulent magnetic…
Space-time varying media enable unprecedented control over electromagnetic waves, yet most existing studies assume idealized, nondispersive materials and thus fail to capture the intrinsic frequency dispersion of realistic platforms. Here,…
We consider the nonlinear wave modulation of arbitrary amplitude periodic traveling wave solutions of the Ostrovsky equation, which arises as a model for the unidirectional propagation of small-amplitude, weakly nonlinear surface and…
We obtain exact travelling wave solutions for three families of stochastic one-dimensional nonequilibrium lattice models with open boundaries. These solutions describe the diffusive motion and microscopic structure of (i) of shocks in the…
This paper develops the basic sets of equations which lead to the conservation laws describing collisionless plasma shock waves. We discuss the evolution of shock waves by wave steepening, derive the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions for…
Higher-order dispersion can lead to intriguing dynamics that are becoming a focus of modern hydrodynamics research. Such systems occur naturally, for example in shallow water waves and nonlinear optics, for which several types of novel…
In this note, we report on recent findings concerning the spectral and nonlinear stability of periodic traveling wave solutions of hyperbolic-parabolic systems of balance laws, as applied to the St. Venant equations of shallow water flow…
In this paper, we develop a model to describe the generalized wave-particle instability in a quasi-neutral plasma. We analyze the quasi-linear diffusion equation for particles by expressing an arbitrary unstable and resonant wave mode as a…
Losses associated with nonlinear wave propagation and exhibited by acoustic wave distortion and shock formation compromise the efficiency of contactless acoustic energy transfer systems. As such, predicting the shock formation distance and…
We prove wave breaking --- bounded solutions with unbounded derivatives --- in the nonlinear nonlocal equations which combine the dispersion relation of water waves and the nonlinear shallow water equations, and which generalize the Whitham…
Aims. The goal of the paper is to present a detailed study of the propagation of low velocity (5 to 25 km s-1) stationary molecular shocks in environments illuminated by an external ultraviolet (UV) radiation field. In particular, we intend…
We perform a linear stability analysis for corrugations of a Newtonian shock, with particle pressure included, for an arbitrary diffusion coefficient. We study first the dispersion relation for homogeneous media, showing that, besides the…
