Comparative Analysis of Packet and Trigger Waves Originating from a Finite Wavelength Instability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The finite wavelength instability generates trigger and packet waves in an extended three-variable Brusselatortype model. The trigger waves account for experimentally observed stacking (shock) structures and acceleration of oncoming waves before collision observed in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky system. Packet waves exhibit specular reflection from surfaces. The mouth of a narrow tube connected to a broader region acts as a semitransparent mirror for packet waves leaving the tube, with a coefficient of transparency that depends on the tube radius.

Packet waves in a reaction-diffusion system.
The finite-wavelength instability gives rise to a new type of wave in reaction-diffusion systems: packet waves, which propagate only within a wave packet, are found in experiments on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction dispersed in water-in-oil AOT microemulsion (BZ-AOT) as well as in model simulations. Inwardly moving packet waves with negative curvature occur in experiments and in a model of th...
متن کاملInfluence of Alfvén waves on the Thermal Instability in the Interstellar Medium
The effect of Alfvén waves on the thermal instability of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) is investigated both analytically and numerically. A stability analysis of a finite amplitude circularly polarized Alfvén wave propagating parallel to an ambient magnetic field in a thermally unstable gas at thermal equilibrium is performed, leading to a dispersion relation which depends on 3 parameters, name...
متن کاملThe morphodynamics of tidal sand waves: A model overview
This paper reviews recent theoretical studies of sand waves which are rhythmic large-scale bedforms observed in the continental shelf far from the near-shore region. Emphasis is given to the investigations carried out in the framework of the EU research project HUMOR. First, the results of linear morphodynamic stability analyses are described, which allow to understand the initial behavior of t...

The evolution and stability o f t wo-dimensional, large-amplitude, non-hydrostatic internal wavepackets are examined analytically and by w ay o f n umerical simulations. The weakly nonlinear dispersion relation for horizontally periodic, vertically compact internal waves is derived and the results are applied to assess the stability o f w eakly nonlinear wavepackets to vertical modulations.

متن کاملOpto-acoustical filter based on phoxonic crystal ring resonator
In this paper, a phoxonic crystal structure is designed that shows a complete phononic and photonic ban gap and is capable to guide the optical waves with transverse magnetic polarization and acoustic waves. The materials used in the structure are nylon and molybdenum, which have suitable refractive index and elastic constant. Also, it is worth of noting that the filling factor is 28% for the p...
