Pulse Stabilization in a Strongly Heterogeneous Layered Medium
A strongly heterogeneous strati ed elastic medium occupies a slab of nite thickness. The medium parameters vary randomly with correlation length of O( ). A pulse with O( ) wavelength enters the slab at one end. It travels coherently through the slab with a slowness near to that predicted by e ective medium theory. Relative to a certain realization-dependent co-moving frame of reference the puls...
متن کاملA Strongly Nonlinear Alfvénic Pulse in a Transversely Inhomogeneous Medium
We investigate the interaction of a plane, linearly polarized, Alfvénic pulse with a one-dimensional, perpendicular to the magnetic field, plasma density inhomogeneity in the strongly nonlinear regime. Our numerical study of the full MHD equations shows that: (i) Plasma density inhomogeneity substantially enhances (by about a factor of 2) the generation of longitudinal compressive waves. (ii) A...
متن کاملStatistics for Pulse Reflection from a Randomly Layered Medium
We consider reflection of a pulse incident on a layered halfspace whose density and bulk modulus vary randomly. We show that when the pulse width is long compared to the average time it takes to travel over one correlation length, the reflected signal is approximately a Gaussian random process. The parameters of this process change slowly on a scale long compared to the pulse width. We give a f...
متن کاملStabilization of a light bullet in a layered Kerr medium with sign-changing nonlinearity.
Using the numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and a variational method, it is shown that ( 3+1 ) -dimensional spatiotemporal optical solitons, known as light bullets, can be stabilized in a layered Kerr medium with sign-changing nonlinearity along the propagation direction.
متن کاملFrontal Reaction in a Layered Polymerizing Medium
We analyze the dynamics of a reaction propagating along a two-dimensional medium of nonuniform composition. We consider the context of a self-sustaining reaction front that converts a monomer-initiator mixture into an inhomogeneous polymeric material. We model the system with one-step effective kinetics, assuming large activation energy. Using asymptotic methods, we find the analytical expressi...
