Solitary surface acoustic waves
Physical Review E, 2004Solitary acoustic pulses can propagate along the surface of a coated homogeneous and inhomogeneous medium. It is shown how these nonlinear surface acoustic waves evolve out of initial pulselike conditions generated by pulsed laser excitation and how they can be monitored by optical detection. The solitary pulse shapes at the surface are computed on the

We present new results for the time reversal of nonlinear pulses traveling in a random medium, in particular for solitary waves. We consider long water waves propagating in the presence of a spatially random depth. Both hyperbolic and dispersive regimes are considered.

Parametric spatial solitary waves
Optics Letters, 1994We consider the copropagation of three (pump, Stokes, and anti-Stokes) self-trapped beams that interact through the parametric four-photon-mixing process in a (1 + 1 dimension) uniform self-focusing nonlinear medium. The stationary propagation involving three trapped beams is shown to be possible below a critical frequency shift when the phase ...

SOLITARY WAVE INTERACTIONS WITH CONTINUOUS WAVES
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2006Solitary wave propagation under interaction with continuous waves is studied in the context of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation. An analytical approach, based on the conserved quantities of the wave evolution, is used to study transverse velocity variations for the case of nonzero transverse wavenumber difference between the solitary and continuous ...

Advances in Engineering Mechanics — Reflections and Outlooks, 2005
Experimental and theoretical results are presented for binary collisions between copropagating and counter-propagating solitary waves. The experiments provide highresolution measurements of water surface profiles at fixed times, thereby enabling direct comparisons with predictions by a variety of mathematical models.

Experiments on the radial propagation of axisymmetric free-surface solitary waves are reported and compared with theoretical and numerical solutions of the cylinderical Korteweg–de Vries (CKdV) equation. A new experimental technique to obtain a continuous amplitude signature on photographic paper is reported.

The basic theory of internal solitary waves is developed, with the main emphasis on environmental situations, such as the many occurrences of such waves in shallow coastal seas and in the atmospheric boundary layer. Commencing with the equations of motion for an inviscid, incompressible density-stratified fluid, we describe asymptotic reductions to ...

Journal of Fusion Energy, 2011
Nonlinear ion acoustic waves using a fluid model in cylindrical coordinates for the propagation parallel to the magnetic field are investigated in a low-β magnetized plasma. It is found that beside the existence of smooth regular solitons, cusp solitons also exist in plasmas when certain plasma conditions are satisfied.

We obtained, by using the Painleve method, the bright solitary wave solution to an extended nonlinear Schrodinger equation, which models the propagation of ultrashort pulses, and found that a quadruple clad fiber is needed to propagate this solitary wave.
