Dispersive shock waves in nonlinear arrays.
We experimentally study dispersive shock waves in nonlinear waveguide arrays. In contrast with gap solitons, the nonlinearity here pushes the propagation constant further into the transmission bands, facilitating Bloch mode coupling and energy transport. We directly observe this coupling, both within and between bands, by recording intensity in position space and power spectra in momentum space.
متن کاملRefraction of dispersive shock waves
We study a dispersive counterpart of the classical gas dynamics problem of the interaction of a shock wave with a counter-propagating simple rarefaction wave often referred to as the shock wave refraction. The dispersive shock wave (DSW) refraction due to its head-on collision with the centred rarefaction wave (RW) is considered in the frameworks of the one-dimensional defocusing nonlinear Schr...
متن کاملShock Waves in Dispersive Eulerian Fluids
The long-time behavior of an initial step resulting in a dispersive shock wave (DSW) for the one-dimensional isentropic Euler equations regularized by generic, third-order dispersion is considered by use of Whitham averaging. Under modest assumptions, the jump conditions (DSW locus and speeds) for admissible, weak DSWs are characterized and found to depend only upon the sign of dispersion (conv...
متن کاملDispersive Hydrodynamics: the Mathematics of Dispersive Shock Waves and Applications
Dispersive hydrodynamics is the domain of applied mathematics and physics concerned with fluid motion in which internal friction, e.g., viscosity, is negligible relative to wave dispersion. In conservative media such as superfluids, optical materials, and water waves, nonlinearity has the tendency to engender wavebreaking that is mitigated by dispersion. The mathematical framework for such medi...
متن کاملNonlinear Dispersive Waves on Trees
We investigate the well-posedness of a class of nonlinear dispersive waves on trees, in connection with the mathematical modeling of the human cardiovascular system. Specifically, we study the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation, also known as the regularized long wave equation, posed on finite trees, together with standard junction and terminal boundary conditions. We prove that the Cauchy pro...
