Ray theory for a locally layered random medium
We consider acoustic pulse propagation in inhomogeneous media over relatively long propagation distances. Our main objective is to characterize the spreading of the travelling pulse due to microscale variations in the medium parameters. The pulse is generated by a point source and the medium is modelled by a smooth three-dimensional background that is modulated by stratified random fluctuations...
متن کاملModulational instability in a layered Kerr medium: theory and experiment.
We present the first experimental investigation of modulational instability in a layered Kerr medium. The particularly interesting and appealing feature of our configuration, consisting of alternating glass-air layers, is the piecewise-constant nature of the material properties, which allows a theoretical linear stability analysis leading to a Kronig-Penney equation whose forbidden bands corres...
متن کاملLocally Random Reductions in Interactive Complexity Theory
We survey deenitions, known results, and open questions in the area of locally random reductions and explore the ramiications of these reductions in complexity theory.
متن کاملNonlinear Poroelasticity for a Layered Medium
The equations of motion and the nonlinear constitutive theory of fluid-filled poroelastic media are derived from the fundamental equations of elasticity and fluid mechanics for the constituents. A two-scale spatial expansion and the method of homogenization are employed. Explicit equations are obtained for the special case of a medium consisting of alternating solid and fluid layers. The linear...
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...
