We present investigations into the collision of co-travelling solitary waves in a granular chain. Impulses are injected into the system by means of a piezo stack and the results are compared to a numerical model of discrete masses connected by non-linear springs. Similar to other solitary wave-carrying systems, a phase shift in both interacting solitary waves is observed due to their collision....

Transverse instabilities correspond to a class of perturbations traveling in a direction transverse to the direction of the basic solitary wave. Solitary waves traveling in one space direction generally come in one-parameter families. We embed them in a two-parameter family and deduce a new geometric condition for transverse instability of solitary waves. This condition is universal in the sens...

We have solved the Burgers-Fisher (BF) type equations, with time-dependent coefficients of convection and reaction terms, by using the auxiliary equation method. A class of solitary wave solutions are obtained, and some of which are derived for the first time. We have studied the effect of variable coefficients on physical parameters (amplitude and velocity) of solitary wave solutions. In some ...

We have studied the formation of relativistic solitary waves due to nonlinearinteraction of strong electromagnetic wave with the plasma wave. Here, our plasma isrelativistic both in temperature and in streaming speed. A set of equations consisting ofscalar and vector potentials together with a third order equation for the enthalpy inphoton gas plasma is obtained analytic...

By using the integral bifurcation method, a generalized Tzitzéica-Dodd-Bullough-Mikhailov (TDBM) equation is studied. Under different parameters, we investigated different kinds of exact traveling wave solutions of this generalized TDBM equation. Many singular traveling wave solutions with blow-up form and broken form, such as periodic blow-up wave solutions, solitary wave solutions of blow-up ...

Our concern in this talk is the problem of free surface water waves, the form of solitary wave solutions, and their behavior under collisions. Solitary waves for the Euler equations have been described since the time of Stokes. In a long wave perturbation regime they are well described by single soliton solutions of the Korteweg deVries equation (KdV). It is a famous result that multiple solito...

It is well known that the wave propagation depends mainly on its velocity and frequency in one direction for a single wave[1-3]. There are many literatures devoted researches of single wave propagation such as solitary wave, periodic wave, chirped wave, rational wave etc [4-6]. However, what can be happen when two and even more waves with different features propagate together along different di...

The transformation of a solitary wave on an underwater step is studied analytically and numerically. The theoretical model includes the linear potential description of the wave transformation on a step and the weakly nonlinear theory of long waves based on the Korteweg–de Vries equation for reflected and transmitted waves far from a step. Numerical simulation of solitary wave transformation on ...
