The efficiency of nonmodal self-heating by acoustic wave perturbations is examined. Considering different kinds of kinematically complex velocity patterns we show that nonmodal instabilities arising in these inhomogeneous flows may lead to…
Acoustic waves generated by a point source in stratified plasma are considered in this paper. Analytical parametric solution for monochromatic source is derived for plane-parallel polytrope model of the solar interior. The solution is used…
We study the propagation of sound waves in a three-dimensional, infinite ambient flow with weak random fluctuations of the mean particle velocity and speed of sound. We more particularly address the regime where the acoustic wavelengths are…
Motivated by experiments on the generation of streaming plasmas in high energy density facilities, industrial setups, and fundamental dusty plasma research the plasma polarization around a test charge in streaming plasmas is considered. The…
Nonlinear wave patterns generated by the flow of polariton condensate past an obstacle are studied for quasi-one-dimensional microcavity geometry. It is shown that pumping and nonlinear damping play a crucial role in this process leading to…
Acoustic fields effect steady transport of suspended particles by rectifying the inertia of primary oscillations. We develop a fully analytic theory that relates this steady particle motion to incident oscillatory (acoustic) flow and the…
We investigate the quasilinear effects of the resonant wave-particle interaction under conditions of imbalanced turbulent heating in the collisionless coronal hole. We find that velocity-space transport of protons from the heated part of…
A one-dimensional wave propagation through elastically asymmetric media is investigated. A class of metamaterials possessing an arbitrary elastic asymmetry is proposed. This asymmetry results in different wave speeds of tensile and…
In a communication scheme, there exist points at the transmitter and at the receiver where the wave is reduced to a finite set of functions of time which describe amplitudes and phases. For instance, the information is summarized in…
Two-dimensional (axially symmetric) numerical hydrodynamical calculations of accretion flows which cannot cool through emission of radiation are presented. The calculations begin from an equilibrium configuration consisting of a thick torus…
We consider the acoustic flow field of rotationally symmetric systems, like an annular combustor and the flow in a round duct, in absence of a mean azimuthal flow field. We focus on azimuthal instabilities, which manifest as either spinning…
Acoustic trapping uses forces exerted by sound waves to transport small objects along specified trajectories in three dimensions. The structure of the acoustic force landscape is governed by the amplitude and phase profiles of the sound's…
By adding a particle source term in the Boltzmann equation of kinetic theory, it is possible to represent particles appearing and disappearing throughout the fluid with a specified distribution of particle velocities. By deriving the wave…
We study electromagnetic streaming instabilities in thermal viscous regions of rotating astrophysical objects, such as, protostellar and protoplanetary magnetized accretion disks, molecular clouds, their cores, and elephant trunks. The…
Certain cyanobacteria, such as open ocean strains of Synechococcus, are able to swim at speeds up to 25 diameters per second, without flagella or visible changes in shape. The means by which Synechococcus generates thrust for…
Using a simple thermo-hydrodynamic model that respects relativistic causality, we revisit the analysis of qualitative features of acoustic oscillations in the photon-baryon fluid. The growing photon mean free path introduces transient…
We consider the scattering of acoustic waves emitted by an active source above a plane turbulent shear layer. The layer is modeled by a moving random medium with small spatial and temporal fluctuations of its mean velocity, and constant…
We develop an axial model for single steadily propagating positive streamers in air. It uses observable parameters to estimate quantities that are difficult to measure. More specifically, for given velocity, radius, length and applied…
Waveguiding in general and acoustic waveguiding in particular are possible at the condition of having a transverse "discontinuity" or modulation of the refractive index. We propose here a radically different approach that relies on imposing…
A new class of solitary waves arises in the solution of nonlinear wave equations with constant impedance and no dispersive terms. They depend on a balance between nonlinearity and a dispersion-like effect due to spatial variation in the…
