I followed it on horseback, and overtook it still rolling on at a rate of some eight or nine miles an hour [14 km/h], preserving its original figure some thirty feet [9 m] long and a foot to a foot and a half [300-450 mm] in height. Its height gradually diminished, and after a chase of one or two miles [2-3km] I lost it in the windings of the channel. Such, in the month of August 1834, was my first chance interview with that singular and beautiful phenomenon which I have called the Wave of Translation. - John Scott Russell Union Canal, Hermiston, Scotland, http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/~chris/canal.jpg Dr. Russell Herman Nonlinear Waves in Physics May 13, 2020 3 / 69 History KdV NLPDEs Perturbations mKdV NLS Rogue Summary John Scott Russell (1808-1882) § Engineer, Scotland § Used 30 ft tank § v 2 “ gph ` aq http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/~chris/scott_russell.html § \Committee on Waves" § Reports: 1837, 1844 Dr. Russell Herman Nonlinear Waves in Physics May 13, 2020 4 / 69 History KdV NLPDEs Perturbations mKdV NLS Rogue Summary Years of Controversy George Biddle Airy (1801-1892).

  • The Sail & the Paddle
    THE SAIL & THE PADDLE [PART III] The “Great Eastern” THE GREAT SHIP n the early 1850's three brilliant engineers gathered together to air their views about Ithe future of the merchant ship. One of them was Isambard Kingdom Brunel who, with the successful Great Western and Great Britain already to his credit, was the most influential ship designer in England. He realized that, although there was a limit to the size to which a wooden ship could be built because of the strength, or lack of it, in the building material, this limitation did not apply when a much stronger building material was used. Iron was this stronger material, and with it ships much bigger than the biggest wooden ship ever built could be constructed. In Brunel’s estimation there was, too, a definite need for a very big ship. Scott Russell (left) and Brunel (second from Emigration was on the increase, the main right0 at the first attempt to launch the “Great destinations at this time being the United Eastern” in 1857. States and Canada. On the other side of the world, in Australia and New Zealand, there were immense areas of uninhabited land which, it seemed to Brunel, were ready and waiting to receive Europe’s dispossessed multitudes. They would need ships to take them there and ships to bring their produce back to Europe after the land had been cultivated. And as the numbers grew, so also would grow the volume of trade with Europe, all of which would have to be carried across the oceans in ships.

  • Waves on Deep Water, I
    Lecture 14: Waves on deep water, I Lecturer: Harvey Segur. Write-up: Adrienne Traxler June 23, 2009 1 Introduction In this lecture we address the question of whether there are stable wave patterns that propagate with permanent (or nearly permanent) form on deep water. The primary tool for this investigation is the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation (NLS). Below we sketch the derivation of the NLS for deep water waves, and review earlier work on the existence and stability of 1D surface patterns for these waves. The next lecture continues to more recent work on 2D surface patterns and the effect of adding small damping. 2 Derivation of NLS for deep water waves The nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation (NLS) describes the slow evolution of a train or packet of waves with the following assumptions: • the system is conservative (no dissipation) • then the waves are dispersive (wave speed depends on wavenumber) Now examine the subset of these waves with • only small or moderate amplitudes • traveling in nearly the same direction • with nearly the same frequency The derivation sketch follows the by now normal procedure of beginning with the water wave equations, identifying the limit of interest, rescaling the equations to better show that limit, then solving order-by-order. We begin by considering the case of only gravity waves (neglecting surface tension), in the deep water limit (kh → ∞). Here h is the distance between the equilibrium surface height and the (flat) bottom; a is the wave amplitude; η is the displacement of the water surface from the equilibrium level; and φ is the velocity potential, u = ∇φ.

Foundations of Wave Phenomena, Version 8.2 21. Non-linear Wave Equations and Solitons. In 1834 the Scottish engineer John Scott Russell observed at the Union Canal at Hermiston a well-localized* and unusually stable disturbance in the water that propagated for miles virtually unchanged. The disturbance was stimulated by the sudden stopping of a boat on the canal. He called it a “wave of translation”; we call it a solitary wave. As it happens, a number of relatively complicated – indeed, non-linear – wave equations can exhibit such a phenomenon. Moreover, these solitary wave disturbances will often be stable in the sense that if two or more solitary waves collide then after the collision they will separate and take their original shape.

Computation of Solitary Wave Solutions VI. Water Wave Experiments and Observations VII. Future Directions VIII. Bibliography Glossary Deep water A surface wave is said to be in deep water if its wavelength is much shorter than the local water depth. Internal wave A internal wave travels within the interior of a fluid. The maximum velocity and maximum amplitude occur within the fluid or at an internal boundary (interface). Internal waves depend on the density-stratification of the fluid. Shallow water A surface wave is said to be in shallow water if its wavelength is much larger than the local water depth. Shallow water waves Shallow water waves correspond to the flow at the free surface of a body of shallow water under the force of gravity, or to the flow below a horizontal pressure surface in a fluid. Shallow water wave equations Shallow water wave equations are a set of partial differential equations that describe shallow water waves. 1 Solitary wave A solitary wave is a localized gravity wave that maintains its coherence and, hence, its visi- bility through properties of nonlinear hydrodynamics. Solitary waves have finite amplitude and propagate with constant speed and constant shape. Soliton Solitons are solitary waves that have an elastic scattering property: they retain their shape and speed after colliding with each other.

  • The Royal Institution of Naval Architects and Lloyd's Register
    The Royal Institution of Naval Architects and Lloyd’s Register Given their common roots in the UK maritime industry, it is not surprising that throughout the 150 years in which the histories of both organisations have overlapped, many members of the Institution have held important positions within Lloyd’s Register. Such connections can be traced back to 1860, when the joint Chief Surveyors, Joseph Horatio Ritchie and James Martin were two of the 18 founding members of the Institution. The Lloyd’s Register Historian, Barbara Jones, has identified others who either worked for Lloyd’s Register in some capacity, or who sat on its Committees, and had a direct connection with the Institution of Naval Architects, later to become the Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

We theoretically and computationally investigate the stability and acces- sibility of cnoidal waves in microresonators. We show that they are robust and, in contrast to single solitons, can be easily and deterministically accessed in most cases. Their bandwidth can be comparable to single solitons, in which limit they are effectively a periodic train of solitons and correspond to a frequency comb with increased power. We comprehensively explore the three-dimensional parameter space that consists of detuning, pump amplitude, and mode cir- cumference in order to determine where stable solutions exist. To carry out this task, we use a unique set of computational tools based on dynamical system theory that allow us to rapidly and accurately determine the stable region for each cnoidal wave periodicity and to find the instabil- ity mechanisms and their time scales. Finally, we focus on the soliton limit, and we show that the stable region for single solitons almost completely overlaps the stable region for both con- tinuous waves and several higher-periodicity cnoidal waves that are effectively multiple soliton trains.

  • Plasmon-Soliton
    Plasmon-Soliton Eyal Feigenbaum and Meir Orenstein Department of Electrical Engineering, Technion, Haifa 32000, Israel [email protected] Abstract : Formation of a novel hybrid-vector spatial plasmon-soliton in a Kerr slab embedded in-between metal plates is predicted and analyzed with a modified NLSE, encompassing hybrid vector field characteristics. Assisted by the transverse plasmonic effect, the self trapping dimension of the plasmon-soliton was substantially compressed (compared to the dielectrically cladded slab case) when reducing the slab width. The practical limitation of the Plasmon-soliton size reduction is determined by available nonlinear materials and metal loss. For the extreme reported values of nonlinear index change, we predict soliton with a cross section of 300nm×30nm (average dimension of 100nm). 1 The downscaling of conventional photonics is halted when approaching a transverse dimension of ~ λ/2 ( λ is the wavelength). This limitation can be alleviated by the incorporation of metals, giving rise to surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) [1,2]. Here we analyze a novel configuration where light is transversely tightly guided between two metal layers, and laterally self trapped by a nonlinear Kerr effect to yield a plasmon-soliton. The tight field confinement of this scheme is important for potential excitation of plasmon-solitons by a low power continuous wave optical source, which is further assisted by the expected small group velocity of the plasmon-soliton. In this letter we present for the first time both an analysis of TM spatial solitons, using the Non- linear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE), where the full vectorial field is considered, as well as the prediction and characteristics of SPP based solitons.

Soliton molecules, rational positons and rogue waves for the extended complex modified KdV equation Lin Huang ∗and Nannan Lv† School of Science, Hangzhou Dianzi University, 310018 Zhejiang, China. May 6, 2021 Abstract We consider the integrable extended complex modified Korteweg–de Vries equation, which is generalized modified KdV equation. The first part of the article considers the construction of solutions via the Darboux transformation. We obtain some exact solutions, such as soliton molecules, positon solutions, rational positon solutions, and rogue waves solutions. The second part of the article analyzes the dynamics of rogue waves. By means of the numerical analysis, under the standard decomposition, we divide the rogue waves into three patterns: fundamental pattern, triangular pattern and ring pattern. For the fundamental pattern, we define the length and width of the rogue waves and discuss the effect of different parameters on rogue waves. Keywords: Darboux transformation, Soliton molecule, Positon solution, Rational positon so- lution, Rogue waves solution.

Bathymetry of Andaman Sea [Smith and Sandwell, 1997]. 485 An Atlas of Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves (May 2002) The Andaman Sea by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for the Office of Naval Research - Code 322PO Observations As far back as the mid-19th century surface manifestations of solitons have been observed consisting of strong bands of sea surface roughness. These bands were referred to as "ripplings", due to their mistaken association with rip tides. A description of such bands can be found in the book of Maury [1861] published in 1861 and which is quoted in Osborne and Burch [1980]: "In the entrance of the Malacca Straits, near Nicobar and Acheen Islands, and between them and Junkseylon, there are often strong ripplings, particularly in the southwest monsoon; these are alarming to persons unacquainted, for the broken water makes a great noise when the ship is passing through the ripplings at night. In most places ripplings are thought to be produced by strong currents, but here they are frequently seen when there is no perceptible current…so as to produce an error in the course and distance sailed, yet the surface if the water is impelled forward by some undiscovered cause.
