Transverse instabilities of deep-water solitary waves
The dynamics of a one-dimensional slowly modulated, nearly monochromatic localized wave train in deep water is described by a one-dimensional soliton solution of a twodimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. In this paper, the instability of such a wave train with respect to transverse perturbations is examined numerically in the context of the NLS equation, using Hill’s method. A vari...
متن کاملSelf-focusing and Transverse Instabilities of Solitary Waves
We give an overview of the basic physical concepts and analytical methods for investigating the symmetrybreaking instabilities of solitary waves. We discuss self-focusing of spatial optical solitons in di!ractive nonlinear media due to either transverse (one more unbounded spatial dimension) or modulational (induced by temporal wave dispersion) instabilities, in the framework of the cubic nonli...
متن کاملDark Solitons, Dispersive Shock Waves, and Transverse Instabilities
The nature of transverse instabilities of dark solitons for the (2+1)-dimensional defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger/Gross–Pitaevskĭi (NLS/GP) equation is considered. Special attention is given to the small (shallow) amplitude regime, which limits to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation. We study analytically and numerically the eigenvalues of the linearized NLS/GP equation. The dispersion re...
متن کاملFingering instabilities in dewetting nanofluids.
The growth of fingering patterns in dewetting nanofluids (colloidal solutions of thiol-passivated gold nanoparticles) has been followed in real time using contrast-enhanced video microscopy. The fingering instability on which we focus here arises from evaporatively driven nucleation and growth in a nanoscopically thin precursor solvent film behind the macroscopic contact line. We find that well...
متن کاملViscous and elastic fingering instabilities in foam.
We investigate pattern formation in the immiscible displacement of foam from a confining geometry. The dominant length scales with the driving pressure gradient as for a Newtonian fluid, but depends surprisingly on the ratio of plate separation to bubble diameter. The pattern morphology exhibits a transition from a jagged, presumably elastic, character to a smooth, viscous character as the shea...
