A gyrokinetic particle simulation model is developed for simulations of the compressional electromagnetic turbulence driven by the mirror instability. Results of the linear simulations of mirror modes agree well with the analytic dispersion relation. Nonlinear simulations of a single mode find that the mirror instability saturates via a phase-space trapping due to the nonlinear wave-particle in...

Considering both effects of the s-wave scattering and the atom-atom interaction rather than only the effect of the s-wave scattering, we establish a nonlinear Schrödinger model for many-particle quantum systems and we prove the global existence of a solution to the model and obtain the expression of the solution. Furthermore, we show that the Hamilton energy and the total particle number both a...

A model of kinetic effects in Langmuir wave dynamics is presented using a nonlinear distribution function that includes particle separatrix crossing and self-consistent electrostatic evolution. This model is based on the adiabatic motion of electrons in the wave to describe Bernstein–Greene– Kruskal-like Langmuir waves over a wide range of temperatures 0.1 k D 0.4 . The asymptotic distribution ...

a modified f-expansion method to find the exact traveling wave solutions of  two-component nonlinear partial differential equations (nlpdes) is discussed. we use this method to construct many new solutions to the nonlinear whitham-broer-kaup system (1+1)-dimensional. the solutions obtained include jacobi elliptic periodic wave solutions which exactly degenerate to the soliton solutions, triangu...

Abstract. This work discusses the first numerical simulation results of fishbone excitation by a suprathermal electron population due to, e.g., electron cyclotron resonance heating and/or lower hybrid wave current drive. The precession resonance underlying the linear instability is clearly identified. Meanwhile, mode saturation is shown to occur because of the secular resonant particle motion, ...

Fully nonlinear extensions of Boussinesq equations are derived to simulate surface wave propagation in coastal regions. By using the velocity at a certain depth as a dependent variable (Nwogu 1993), the resulting equations have significantly improved linear dispersion properties in intermediate water depths when compared to standard Boussinesq approximations. Since no assumption of small nonlin...

We study the dynamic response of a one-dimensional chain of ellipsoidal particles excited by a single compressive impulse. We detail the Hertzian contact theory describing the interaction between two ellipsoidal particles under compression, and use it to model the dynamic response of the system. We observe the formation of highly nonlinear solitary waves in the chain, and we also study their pr...

Photonics enables to develop simple lab experiments that mimic water rogue wave generation phenomena, as well as relativistic gravitational effects such as event horizons, gravitational lensing and Hawking radiation. The basis for analog gravity experiments is light propagation through an effective moving medium obtained via the nonlinear response of the material. So far, analogue gravity kinem...

Within the framework of the thermal wave model, an investigation is made of the longitudinal dynamics of high-energy charged-particle beams. The model includes the nonlinear self-consistent interaction between the beam and its surroundings in terms of a coupling impedance, and when resistive as well as reactive parts are included, the evolution equation becomes a generalized nonlinear Schröding...
