Wavevector resonance in a nonlinear multi-wavespeed chaotic billiard

Nonlinear coupling between eigenmodes of a system leads to spectral energy redistribution. For multi-wavespeed chaotic billiards the average coupling strength can exhibit sharp discontinuities as a function of frequency related to wavevector coincidences between constituent waves of different wavespeeds. The phenomenon is investigated numerically for an ensemble of 2D square two-wavespeed billiards with rough boundaries and quadratic nonlinearity representative of elastodynamic waves. Results of direct numerical simulations are compared with theoretical predictions.

Generalized Berry Conjecture and mode correlations in chaotic plates

We consider a modification of the Berry Conjecture for eigenmode statistics in wave-bearing systems. The eigenmode correlator is conjectured to be proportional to the imaginary part of the Green's function. The generalization is applicable not only to scalar waves in the interior of homogeneous isotropic systems where the correlator is a Bessel function, but to arbitrary points of heterogeneous systems as well. In view of recent experimental measurements, expressions for the intensity correlator in chaotic plates are derived.
