Full reconstruction of acoustic wavefields by means of pointwise measurements

Sound propagation in the ocean is considered. We demonstrate a novel algorithm for full wavefield reconstruction using pointwise measurements by means of a vertical array. The algorithm is based on the so-called discrete variable representation and can be implemented both for tonal and pulse signals. It is shown that the algorithm is robust against array distortions and ambient noise of moderate amplitude. Efficiency of reconstruction is verified by means of numerical simulation with a model of a shallow-sea waveguide. It is found that the effect of bottom sound attenuation enables accurate reconstruction with arrays having relatively low density of hydrophones.

Chaos-assisted formation of immiscible matter-wave solitons and self-stabilization in the binary discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Binary discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation is used to describe dynamics of two-species Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into an optical lattice. Linear inter-species coupling leads to Rabi transitions between the species. In the regime of strong nonlinearity, a wavepacket corresponding to condensate separates into localized and ballistic fractions. Localized fraction is predominantly formed by immiscible solitons consisted of only one species. Initial states without spatial separation of occupied sites expose formation of immiscible solitons after a strongly chaotic transient. We calculate the finite-time Lyapunov exponent as a rate of wavepacket divergence in the Hilbert space. Using the Lyapunov analysis supplemented by Monte-Carlo sampling, it is shown that appearance of immiscible solitons after the chaotic transient corresponds to self-stabilization of the wavepacket. It is found that onset of chaos is accompanied by fast variations of kinetic and interaction energies. Crossover to self-stabilization is accompanied by reduction of condensate density due to emittance of ballistically propagating waves. It turns out that spatial separation of species should be a necessary condition for wavepacket stability in the presence of linear inter-species coupling.
