  2. 1. On steady waves in two-layer fluids and ferrofluids

    Author : Dag Nilsson; Partiella differentialekvationer; []
    Keywords : Internal waves; ferrofluids; partial differential equation; nonlinear waves; travelling waves; solitary waves; dynamical systems; Hamiltonian systems; non-local equations;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns travelling waves in a two-layer fluid and on a ferrofluid jet. We prove existence of several types of such waves by reformulating the corresponding governing equation as an infinite dimensional dynamical system, where an unbounded spatial coordinate is used as time.

  4. 2. Steady waves in local and nonlocal models for water waves

    Author : Tien Truong; Matematik (naturvetenskapliga fakulteten); []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; The steady Euler equations; the Whitham equation; solitary waves; highest waves; periodic waves; transverse dynamics; The steady Euler equations; the Whitham equation; solitary waves; highest waves; periodic waves; transverse dynamics;

    Abstract : We study the steady Euler equations for inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational water waves of constant density. The thesis consists of three papers. The first paper approaches the Euler equations through a famous nonlocal model equation for gravity waves, namely the Whitham equation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interaction between Electromagnetic Waves and Localized Plasma Oscillations

    Author : Jan-Ove Hall; Thomas Leyser; Jan Trulsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space and plasma physics; space physics; plasma physics; radio waves; ionospheric modification; density depleations; field-aligned irregularities; lower hybrid solitary structures; lower hybrid cavities; Z mode waves; magnetosonic waves; scattering; mode conversion; Rymd- och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik;

    Abstract : This thesis treats interaction between electromagnetic waves and localized plasma oscillations. Two specific physical systems are considered, namely artificially excited magnetic field-aligned irregularities (striations) and naturally excited lower hybrid solitary structures (LHSS). READ MORE
