in this study, absorption of high frequency radio waves in the ionospheric plasma have beeninvestigated. the wave equation was obtained in terms of ionospheric parameters. the numerical values ofthe absorption have been calculated for 4 mhz, 4.5 mhz and 5 mhz waves. the necessary parameters forcalculation have been obtained using an international reference ionosphere (iri) model. the altitudina...

An effective boundary condition (EBC) is introduced as a novel technique for predicting tsunami wave runup along the coast, and offshore wave reflections. Numerical modeling of tsunami propagation in the coastal zone has been a daunting task, since high accuracy is needed to capture aspects of wave propagation in the shallower areas. For example, there are complicated interactions between incom...

Wave front propagation failure is investigated in discrete bistable reaction-diffusion systems. We present a theoretical approach including dissipative effects and leading to an analytical expression of the critical coupling beyond which front propagation can occur as a function of the nonlinearity threshold parameter. Our theoretical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations and exper...

Wave mixing inside optical resonators, while experiencing a large enhancement of the nonlinear interaction efficiency, suffers from strong bandwidth constraints, preventing its practical exploitation for processing broad-band signals. Here we show that such limits are overcome by the new concept of travelling-wave resonant four-wave mixing (FWM). This approach combines the efficiency enhancemen...
