Self-sustained nonlinear waves in traffic flow.
In analogy to gas-dynamical detonation waves, which consist of a shock with an attached exothermic reaction zone, we consider herein nonlinear traveling wave solutions to the hyperbolic ("inviscid") continuum traffic equations. Generic existence criteria are examined in the context of the Lax entropy conditions. Our analysis naturally precludes traveling wave solutions for which the shocks trav...
متن کاملNonlinear Self-Sustained Drift-Wave Turbulence.
Numerical simulations of 3D collisional drift-wave turbulence in a sheared magnetic field are presented which demonstrate that fluctuations are self-sustaining even though the linear eigenmodes of the system are all damped. An analytic calculation reveals that the source of the turbulence is a nonlinear streaming instability in which radial flows extract energy from the ambient density gradient...
متن کاملOn “jamitons,” self-sustained nonlinear traffic waves
Phantom jams,” traffic blockages that arise without apparent cause, have long frustrated transportation scientists. Herein, we draw a novel homology between phantom jams and a related class of self-sustained transonic waves, namely detonations. Through this analogy, we describe the jam structure; favorable agreement with reported measurements from congested highways is observed. Complementary n...
متن کاملRupture of thin liquid films: generalization of weakly nonlinear theory.
In this paper, we investigate the rupture dynamics of thin liquid films driven by intermolecular forces via weakly nonlinear bifurcation analysis. The dynamic equations governing slow dynamics of the perturbation amplitude of the near-critical mode corresponding to several models describing the evolution of thin liquid films in different physical situations appear to have the same structure. Wh...
متن کاملAn Asymptotic Derivation of Weakly Nonlinear Ray Theory
Using a method of expansion similar to Chapman Enskog expansion, a new formal perturbation scheme based on high frequency approximation has been constructed. The scheme leads to an eikonal equation in which the leading order amplitude appears. The transport equation for the amplitude has been deduced with an error O(ǫ2) where ǫ is the small parameter appearing in the high frequency approximatio...
