Shock waves in disordered media.
We experimentally investigate the interplay between spatial shock waves and the degree of disorder during nonlinear optical propagation in a thermal defocusing medium. We characterize the way the shock point is affected by the amount of disorder and scales with wave amplitude. Evidence for the existence of a phase diagram in terms of nonlinearity and amount of randomness is reported. The result...
متن کاملUniform shock waves in disordered granular matter.
The confining pressure P is perhaps the most important parameter controlling the properties of granular matter. Strongly compressed granular media are, in many respects, simple solids in which elastic perturbations travel as ordinary phonons. However, the speed of sound in granular aggregates continuously decreases as the confining pressure decreases, completely vanishing at the jamming-unjammi...
متن کاملPropagation of nonlinear waves in disordered media
We study the propagation of stationary waves in disordered non-linear media described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and show that for given boundary conditions and a given coherent wave incident on the sample, the number of solutions of the equation increases exponentially with sample size. We also discuss the ballistic case, the sensitivity of the solutions to the change of external pa...
متن کاملAmplitude coda of classical waves in disordered media.
The propagation of classical waves in the presence of a disordered medium is studied. We consider wave pulses containing a broad range of frequencies in terms of the configurationally averaged Green function of the system. Damped oscillations in the time-dependent response trailing behind the direct arrival of the pulse (coda) are predicted, the periods of which are governed by the density of s...
متن کاملGeneralized Traveling Waves in Disordered Media: Existence, Uniqueness, and Stability
We prove existence, uniqueness, and stability of transition fronts (generalized traveling waves) for reaction-diffusion equations in cylindrical domains with general inhomogeneous ignition reactions. We also show uniform convergence of solutions with exponentially decaying initial data to time translates of the front. In the case of stationary ergodic reactions the fronts are proved to propagat...
