Numerical investigation of active porous composites with enhanced acoustic absorption

The paper presents numerical analysis – involving an advanced multiphysics modeling – of the concept of active porous composite sound absorbers. Such absorbers should be made up of a layer or layers of poroelastic material (porous foams) with embedded elastic inclusions having active (piezoelectric) elements. The purpose of such active composite material is to significantly absorb the energy of...

Acoustic solitons in semiconductor nanostructures

The present lecture gives the review of recent studies where acoustic solitons strongly influence the electron states in a semiconductor nanostructure. The amplitude of soliton pulses is so high that the electron states in a quantum well make temporal excursions in energy up to 10 meV. The subpicosecond duration of the solitons is less than the coherence time of the optical transition between t...

Numerical studies of stabilized Townes solitons

We study numerically stabilized solutions of the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a cubic nonlinearity. We discuss in detail the numerical scheme used and explain why choosing the right numerical strategy is very important to avoid misleading results. We show that stabilized solutions are Townes solitons, a fact which had only been conjectured previously. Also we make a systematic stud...

Large amplitude dust ion acoustic solitons: considering dust polarity and nonextensive electrons

The characteristics of arbitrary amplitude dust ion acoustic solitary waves (DIASWs) are studied in unmagnetized dusty plasmas whose constituents are cold uid ions, nonextensive electrons and stationary negative/positive dust particles. The pseudopotential approach has been used to investigate the structure of localized waves. It is found that, solitary waves exist in a definite interval for th...
