The significant effect of waves on coastal and marine activities urges the precise identification of wave characteristics using field measurements, theoretical studies, physical modeling or numerical simulations. In order to study thoroughly the wave climate in the Caspian Sea, a wave modeling and hindcast project was performed by Iranian National Center for Oceanography. In this study, one of ...

The effect of horizontal magnetic field is considered on the stability of stratified viscoelastic Walters’ (Model B′) fluid in the presence of rotation. In contrast to the Newtonian fluids, the system is found to be unstable for small wavelength perturbations for the case of stable stratification. It is also found that the magnetic field stabilizes the certain wave-number band for unstable stra...

By simulations of the Barkley model, action of uniform periodic nonresonant forcing on scroll rings and wave turbulence in three-dimensional excitable media is investigated. Sufficiently strong rapid forcing converts expanding scroll rings into the collapsing ones and suppresses the Winfree turbulence caused by the negative tension of wave filaments. Slow strong forcing has an opposite effect, ...

In addition to conventional planar and helical flagellar waves, insect sperm flagella have also been observed to display a double-wave structure characterized by the presence of two superimposed helical waves. In this paper, we present a hydrodynamic investigation of the locomotion of insect spermatozoa exhibiting the double-wave structure, idealized here as superhelical waves. Resolving the hy...

Fibers of electrically coupled nerve or cardiac cells are among the best-known examples of excitable media. Such fibers are often forced periodically at one end by an impulsive electrical stimulus current, eliciting sequences of traveling pulses. If the excitable medium happens to be cardiac tissue, it is natural to ask whether a sudden change in the period of the forcing (e.g., the heart rate)...

In this paper, by using a quantum hydrodynamic plasma model which incorporates the important quantum statistical pressure and electron diffraction force, we present the corrected plasmon dispersion relation for graphene which includes a k quantum term arising from the collective electron density wave interference effects (which  is integer and constant and k is wave vector). The longitudinal ...

Semileptonic decays of heavy baryons consisting of one heavy (Q = b, c) and two light (q = u, d, s) quarks are considered in the heavy-quark–light-diquark approximation. The relativistic quasipotential equation is used for obtaining masses and wave functions of both diquarks and baryons within the constituent quark model. The weak transition matrix elements are expressed through the overlap int...
