Nonlinear Wave Packets of Equatorial Kelvin Waves
The weakly nonlinear dynamics of packets of equatorial Kelvin waves is studied using singular perturbation theory applied to the shallow water wave equations. Within the limits of the perturbation theory, which is formally restricted to weak mean shear and weak nonlinearity, we derive a Nonlinear Schroedinger equation to describe the envelope of the wave packet. We find that nonlinearity has a ...
متن کاملThe evolution of free wave packets
We discuss four general features of the force-free evolution of wave packets: 1 The spatial spread of a packet changes with time in a simple way. 2 For sufficiently short durations related to the spread in the momentum of the packet the probability distribution will move with uniform speed and little change in shape. 3 After a sufficiently long time related to the initial spatial spread the wav...
متن کاملNonlinear Wave Packets in Deformed Honeycomb Lattices
The spectrum of a Schrödinger operator with a perfect honeycomb lattice potential has special points, called Dirac points where the lowest two branches of the spectrum touch. Deformations can result in the merging and disappearance of the Dirac points and the originally intersecting dispersion relation branches separate. Corresponding to these deformations, nonlinear envelope equations are deri...
متن کاملOn the development and evolution of nonlinear ion acoustic wave packets
A simple model of ion fluctuations (ion acoustic and ion cyclotron fluctuations for example) driven by an electron current which leads to intermittent fluctuations when the linear growth rate exceeds the wave packet dispersion rate is analized. The normalized fluctuation amplitude eφ0/T can be much larger than the mass ratio (me/mi) level predicted by the conventional quasilinear theory or Manh...
متن کاملSTABILITY ANALYSIS FROM FOURTH ORDER NONLINEAR EVOLUTION EQUATIONS FOR TWO CAPILLARY GRAVITY WAVE PACKETS IN THE PRESENCE OF WIND OWING OVER WATER.
Asymptotically exact and nonlocal fourth order nonlinear evolution equations are derived for two coupled fourth order nonlinear evolution equations have been derived in deep water for two capillary-gravity wave packets propagating in the same direction in the presence of wind flowing over water.We have used a general method, based on Zakharov integral equation.On the basis of these evolution eq...
