The dynamics of modulated wave trains
We investigate the dynamics of weakly-modulated nonlinear wave trains. For reaction-diffusion systems and for the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation, we establish rigorously that slowly varying modulations of wave trains are well approximated by solutions to the Burgers equation over the natural time scale. In addition to the validity of the Burgers equation, we show that the viscous shock profil...
متن کاملPropagation failure dynamics of wave trains in excitable systems.
We report experimental and numerical results on temporal patterns of propagation failures in reaction-diffusion systems. Experiments employ the 1,4-cyclohexanedione Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. The propagation failures occur in the frontier region of the wave train and can profoundly affect its expansion speed. The specific rhythms observed vary from simple periodic to highly complex and poss...
متن کاملWave dynamics in optically modulated waveguide arrays.
A model describing wave propagation in optically modulated waveguide arrays is proposed. In the weakly guided regime, a two-dimensional semidiscrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the addition of a bulk diffraction term and an external "optical trap" is derived from first principles, i.e., Maxwell equations. When the nonlinearity is of the defocusing type, a family of unstaggered localized...
متن کاملEnergy dissipation and spectrum evolution during the breaking of modulated wave trains
In this paper the wave breaking induced by modulational instability is investigated numerically. The wave train is composed by a fundamental component with two sideband disturbances and the analysis is performed for those conditions in which the instability leads the limiting steepness to be exceeded. Due to the different speeds characterizing individual waves and the peak of the envelope, the ...
متن کاملthe study of bright and surface discrete cavity solitons dynamics in saturable nonlinear media
امروزه سالیتون ها بعنوان امواج جایگزیده ای که تحت شرایط خاص بدون تغییر شکل در محیط منتشر می-شوند، زمینه مطالعات گسترده ای در حوزه اپتیک غیرخطی هستند. در این راستا توجه به پدیده پراش گسسته، که بعنوان عامل پهن شدگی باریکه نوری در آرایه ای از موجبرهای جفت شده، ظاهر می گردد، ضروری است، زیرا سالیتون های گسسته از خنثی شدن پراش گسسته در این سیستم ها بوسیله عوامل غیرخطی بوجود می آیند. گسستگی سیستم عامل...
