Nonlinear evolution equations have a major role in various scientific and engineering fields, such as fluid mechanics, plasma physics, optical fibers, solid state physics, chemical kinematics, chemical physics and geochemistry. Nonlinear wave phenomena of dispersion, dissipation, diffusion, reaction and convection are very important in nonlinear wave equations. In recent years, quite a few meth...

We study the second-harmonic generation in left-handed metamaterials with a quadratic nonlinear response. We demonstrate a novel type of the exact phase matching between the backward propagating wave of the fundamental frequency and the forward propagating wave of the second harmonics. We show that this novel parametric process can convert a surface of the left-handed metamaterial into an effec...

The purpose of this paper is to show that certain sharp existence theorems for small amplitude nonlinear wave equations in the Minkowski space setting extend to the case of nonlinear Dirichlet-wave equations outside of obstacles. Our main result is that the obstacle version of the Strauss conjecture holds when the spatial dimension is equal to 4. The corresponding result for 4-dimensional Minko...

The primary focus of this research is to use large-eddy simulation (LES) and large-wave simulation (LWS) to obtain improved physical understanding of wind-wave-ocean interactions, based on which we aim to develop effective models of wind input and whitecapping dissipation for phase-resolving, nonlinear wave-field simulation at large scales. Our ultimate goal is to establish a numerical capabili...

In this paper, we employ the modified simple equation method to find the exact traveling wave solutions involving parameters of nonlinear evolution equations via the (1+1)dimensional generalized shallow water-wave equation and the(2+1)-dimensional KdV-Burgers equation. When these parameters are taken to be special values, the solitary wave solutions are derived from the exact traveling wave sol...

Understanding the generation and growth of nonlinear harmonic (and intermodulation) distortion in microwave amplifiers such as traveling wave tubes (TWTs), free electron lasers (FELs), and klystrons is of current research interest. Similar to FELs, the nonlinear harmonic growth rate scales with the harmonic number in TWTs. In klystrons, the wave number scaling applies to the nonlinear harmonic ...

Photonics enables to develop simple lab experiments that mimic water rogue wave generation phenomena, as well as relativistic gravitational effects such as event horizons, gravitational lensing and Hawking radiation. The basis for analog gravity experiments is light propagation through an effective moving medium obtained via the nonlinear response of the material. So far, analogue gravity kinem...

Using a traveling wave reduction technique, we have shown that Maccari equation, (2?1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation, medium equal width equation, (3?1)-dimensional modified KdV–Zakharov– Kuznetsev equation, (2?1)-dimensional long wave-short wave resonance interaction equation, perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation can be reduced to the same family of auxiliary elliptic-like equ...

A simple nonlinear model is proposed in this paper to study the solitary wave in a circular magneto-electro-elastic rod. Based on the constitutive relation for transversely isotropic piezoelectric and piezomagnetic materials, combined with the differential equations of motion, we derive the longitudinal wave motion equation in a long circular rod. The nonlinearity considered is geometrically as...

In this article, we introduce an ansatz involving exact traveling wave solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations. To obtain wave solutions using direct method, the choice of an appropriate ansatz is of great importance. We apply this ansatz to examine new and further general traveling wave solutions to the (1+1)-dimensional modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation. Abundant traveling ...
