Transverse nonlinear instability for two-dimensional dispersive models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method to prove nonlinear instability of solitary waves in dispersive models. Two examples are analyzed: we prove the nonlinear long time instability of the KdV solitary wave (with respect to periodic transverse perturbations) under a KP-I flow and the transverse nonlinear instability of solitary waves for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

Onset of transverse instabilities of confined dark solitons
We investigate propagating dark soliton solutions of the two-dimensional defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger or Gross-Pitaevskii (NLS-GP) equation that are transversely confined to propagate in an infinitely long channel. Families of single, vortex, and multilobed solitons are computed using a spectrally accurate numerical scheme. The multilobed solitons are unstable to small transverse perturbati...
متن کاملMultilump Symmetric and Nonsymmetric Gravity-Capillary Solitary Waves in Deep Water
Multilump gravity-capillary solitary waves propagating in a fluid of infinite depth are computed numerically. The study is based on a weakly nonlinear and dispersive partial differential equation (PDE) with weak variations in the spanwise direction, a model derived by Akers and Milewski [Stud. Appl. Math., 122 (2009), pp. 249–274]. For a two-dimensional fluid, this model agrees qualitatively we...
متن کاملDark Solitons, Dispersive Shock Waves, and Transverse Instabilities
The nature of transverse instabilities of dark solitons for the (2+1)-dimensional defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger/Gross–Pitaevskĭi (NLS/GP) equation is considered. Special attention is given to the small (shallow) amplitude regime, which limits to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation. We study analytically and numerically the eigenvalues of the linearized NLS/GP equation. The dispersion re...
متن کاملChaotic and turbulent behavior of unstable one-dimensional nonlinear dispersive waves
In this article we use one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations ~NLS! to illustrate chaotic and turbulent behavior of nonlinear dispersive waves. It begins with a brief summary of properties of NLS with focusing and defocusing nonlinearities. In this summary we stress the role of the modulational instability in the formation of solitary waves and homoclinic orbits, and in the generation ...
متن کاملOn Formation of the Rogue Waves and Holes in Ocean
Two-dimensional nonlinear models are developed to account for abnormal surface ocean waves generation and propagation. These models are based on the KadomtsevPetviashvili equation, the 2D Benjamin-Ono equation and the 2D Gardner equation. Possible mechanisms of the waves formation suggested are the resonant interaction between semi-plane waves or waves with curved fronts or the transverse insta...
