Soliton gas: Theory, numerics, and experiments

The concept of soliton gas was introduced in 1971 by Zakharov as an infinite collection of weakly interacting solitons in the framework of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this theoretical construction of a diluted (rarefied) soliton gas, solitons with ...

A machine learning architecture for including wave breaking in envelope-type wave models

Debbie Eeltink, Yuxuan Liu

Wave breaking is a complex physical process about which open questions remain. For some applications, it is critical to include breaking effects in phase-resolved envelope-based wave models such as the non-linear Schr & ouml;dinger. A promising approach is ...

Stochastic particle transport by deep-water irregular breaking waves

Debbie Eeltink

Correct prediction of particle transport by surface waves is crucial in many practical applications such as search and rescue or salvage operations and pollution tracking and clean-up efforts. Recent results by Deike et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 829, 2017, ...

Generalised Kerr Microcomb Physics in Synchronously Driven Systems

Miles Henry Anderson

In this thesis, the generation of microcombs under complex, non-trivial, and/or higher-order cavity conditions is explored, both in theory & simulation, and in practical experimentation. Pulse-driving of microresonators is investigated for the generation ...

Temporal Prediction of Landslide-Generated Waves Using a Theoretical-Statistical Combined Method

Christophe Ancey, Zhenzhu Meng, Yating Hu

For the prediction of landslide-generated waves, previous studies have developed numerous empirical equations to express the maximums of wave characteristics as functions of slide parameters upon impact. In this study, we built the temporal relationship be ...

Optimization of elastic wave propagation in a reconfigurable medium by genetic algorithms with adaptive mutation probability

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Janez Rus

We introduce a reconfigurable medium for the manipulation of elastic propagation properties of Lamb waves. It is based on a shape memory polymer (SMP) with temperature-dependent Young's modulus. Waves are excited by a laser pulse and detected by a laser vi ...

Zero dispersion Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Miles Henry Anderson, Wenle Weng, Alexey Tikan

Solitons are shape preserving waveforms that are ubiquitous across nonlinear dynamical systems from BEC to hydrodynamics, and fall into two separate classes: bright solitons existing in anomalous group velocity dispersion, and switching waves forming 'dark ...

Protected generation of dissipative Kerr solitons in supermodes of coupled optical microresonators

Rui Ning Wang, Tobias Kippenberg, Kenichi Komagata, Junqiu Liu, Mikhail Churaev, Xinru Ji, Alexey Tikan, Aleksandr Tusnin

A photonic dimer composed of two evanescently coupled high-Q microresonators is a fundamental element of multimode soliton lattices. It has demonstrated a variety of emergent nonlinear phenomena, including supermode soliton generation and soliton hopping. ...

Emergent nonlinear phenomena in a driven dissipative photonic dimer

Rui Ning Wang, Tobias Kippenberg, Kenichi Komagata, Hairun Guo, Junqiu Liu, Mikhail Churaev, Alexey Tikan

Collective effects leading to spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal pattern formation in complex nonlinear systems driven out of equilibrium cannot be described at the single-particle level and are therefore often called emergent phenomena. They are characte ...

Koopman Analysis of Isolated Fronts and Solitons

Jeremy Peter Parker

A Koopman decomposition of a complex system leads to a representation in which nonlinear dynamics appear to be linear. The existence of a linear framework with which to analyze nonlinear dynamical systems brings new strategies for prediction and control, w ...

Gravity Wave Excitation during the Coastal Transition of an Extreme Katabatic Flow in Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

The offshore extent of Antarctic katabatic winds exerts a strong control on the production of sea ice and the formation of polynyas. In this study, we make use of a combination of ground-based remotely sensed and meteorological measurements at Dumont d'Urv ...

Breaking of Internal Waves and Turbulent Dissipation in an Anticyclonic Mode Water Eddy

Bieito Fernandez Castro

A four-month glider mission was analyzed to assess turbulent dissipation in an anticyclonic eddy at the western boundary of the subtropical North Atlantic. The eddy (radius ≈ 60 km) had a core of low potential vorticity between 100–450 m, with maximum radi ...
