Abstract

A new class of ``toy models'' for subaqueous bedform formation are proposed and examined. These models all show a similar mechanism of wavelength selection via bedform unification, and they may have applications to bedform stratigraphy. The models are also useful for exploring general issues of pattern formation and complexity in stochastically driven far from equilibrium systems.

Laplacian Growth I: Finger Competition and Formation of a Single Saffman-Taylor Finger without Surface Tension: An Exact Result

We study the exact non-singular zero-surface tension solutions of the Saffman-Taylor problem for all times. We show that all moving logarithmic singularities a_k(t) in the complex plane ω= e^{iϕ}, where ϕis the stream function, are repelled from the origin, attracted to the unit circle and eventually coalesce. This pole evolution describes essentially all the dynamical features of viscous fingering in the Hele-Shaw cell observed by Saffman and Taylor [Proc. R. Soc. A 245, 312 (1958)], namely tip-splitting, multi-finger competition, inverse cascade, and subsequent formation of a single Saffman-Taylor finger.

Spatio-temporal dynamics of coupled array of Murali-Lakshmanan-Chua circuits

The circuit recently proposed by Murali, Lakshmanan and Chua (MLC) is one of the simplest non-autonomous nonlinear electronic circuits which shows a variety of dynamical phenomena including various bifurcations, chaos and so on. In this paper we study the spatio-temporal dynamics in one and two dimensional arrays of coupled MLC circuits both in the absence as well as in the presence of external periodic force. In the absence of any external force, the propagation phenomena of travelling wave front and its failure have been observed from numerical simulations....

Pulse Shepherding and Multi-Channel Soliton Transmission in Bit-Parallel-Wavelength Optical Fiber Links

We study bit-parallel-wavelength (BPW) pulse transmission in multi-channel single-mode optical fiber links for high-performance computer networks. We develop a theory of the pulse shepherding effect earlier discovered in numerical simulations, and also describe the families of the BPW solitons and bifurcation cascades in a system of N coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
