Neutrino Propagation Through Helioseismic Waves

Motivated by earlier calculations showing large effects when neutrinos propagate through fluctuating media, we perform here a detailed analysis of how density fluctuations in the sun in the form of helioseismic waves can modify the MSW solution to the solar neutrino problem. We find negligible effects for the MSW spectrum, even under extreme circumstances. There are two main reasons why our con...

Effect of Initial Stress on Propagation of Love Waves in an Anisotropic Porous Layer

In the present paper, effect of initial stresses on the propagation of Love waves has been investigated in a fluid saturated, anisotropic, porous layer lying in welded contact over a prestressed, non-homogeneous elastic half space. The dispersion equation of phase velocity has been derived. It has been found that the phase velocity of Love waves is considerably influenced by porosity and anisot...

Propagation of traveling waves in excitable media.

Traveling waves transmit information through space. Wave patterns arise in phenomena as diverse as the migrating action potentials of neurons (Hodgkin and Huxley 1952), spiraling bands of electrical excitation detected in cardiac muscle (Davidenko et al. 1992), and the movement of calcium within differentiating Xenopus laevis oocytes (Lechleiter et al. 1991). In each of these cases, an excitabl...

The Propagation of Shock Waves in a

The shock wave structure in a moderately dense gas is studied by numerically solving the one-dimensional Enskog kinetic equation. The numerical method is based on a combination of a nite difference scheme for the streaming term and a Monte Carlo quadrature technique to evaluate the collision integral. The obtained shock prooles are compared to the results of Navier-Stokes theory and to molecula...
