Furthermore, we scrutinize the influence of parameter variations on these wave structures, thereby offering a comprehensive understanding of their dynamic behavior.

Nonlinear Complex Wave Excitations in (2+1)-Dimensional Klein–Gordon Equation Investigated by New Wave Transformation

The Klein–Gordon equation plays an important role in mathematical physics, such as plasma and, condensed matter physics. Exploring its exact solution helps us understand its complex nonlinear wave phenomena. In this paper, we first propose a new extended Jacobian elliptic function expansion method for constructing rich exact periodic wave solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Klein–Gordon equation. Then, we introduce a novel wave transformation for constructing nonlinear complex waves. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this method, we numerically simulated several sets of complex wave structures, which indicate new types of complex wave phenomena. The results show that this method is simple and effective for constructing rich exact solutions and complex nonlinear wave phenomena to nonlinear equations.

Soliton solutions and sensitive analysis to nonlinear wave model arising in optics

In this study, we use analytical algorithms, specifically the auxiliary equation (AE) approach, the improved F-expansion method, and the modified Sardar sub-equation (MSSE) method to investigate complex wave structures for plentiful solutions associated with the fractional perturbed Gerdjikov-Ivanov (PGI) model with the M-fractional operator. The investigated model is a well-established mathematical model used to represent a variety of physical events in nonlinear dynamics and mathematical physics. By using the aforementioned techniques, we scrutinize some new optical wave solutions in the framework of dark, bright, periodic, combo, W-shaped, M-shape, V-shape, kink type, singular rational, exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic solutions. The acquired solutions address a wide range of optical solutions in the form of 3D plots, contour plots, and 2D plots, declaring the free parameters of such optical soliton solutions and comprehending their dynamic behavior. Also, the sensitive analysis of the selected model is analyzed. The main contribution of this study is to extract diverse solitary wave solutions of the adopted model. Some of the solutions are similar and some diverge from the previous solutions which justifies the novelty of the study. Finally, we discovered that the current technique provides a reliable instrument for investigating the analytic solutions of fractional differential equations. The proposed PGI model can be used to transmit ultra-fast pulses across optical fibers. This research goes beyond to the advancement of mathematical techniques for solving fractional differential equations and broadens their application to a wide range of real-world scientific and engineering problems.

Periodic line wave, rogue waves and the interaction solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional integrable Kadomtsev–Petviashvili-based system

This paper mainly investigates multiple types of solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional integrable Kadomtsev–Petviashvili-based system, which can describe the complex nonlinear wave phenomena observed in many physical systems, such as fluid mechanics, plasma physics and ocean dynamics. The Hirota’s bilinear method and the perturbation expansion skill are used to derive the periodic line wave solution and the interaction solution composed of the breather and the periodic line wave. By choosing appropriate parameters and employing the long wave limit of the soliton solution, two kinds of elementary rogue waves (RWs) are generated, which are kink-shaped line RW and W-shaped line RW. The interaction solutions among a lump, two lumps and two kinds of line RWs are obtained. Furthermore, the semi-rational solutions of the KP-based system are yielded, which include six types, namely (1) a line RW on a line soliton background, (2) a line RW on two line solitons background, (3) the line RW on the breather background, (4) a lump on the background with the periodic line wave, (5) the line RW on the background of the lump and the breather and (6) two lumps on the background with the periodic line wave. An effective analytical method related to the characteristic lines is presented to analyze the dynamical behaviors of the rogue waves and interaction waves. The method can be further extended to investigate other complex wave structures for the high-dimensional nonlinear integrable equations.

Flow field prediction of S-shaped shock vectoring nozzle with rear deck based on deep learning

The S-shaped shock wave vectoring nozzle with afterdeck can significantly improve the overall performance of the exhaust system, taking into account Thrust vectoring, infrared stealth and afterbody fusion. One of the technical difficulties in its design process lies in the complex flow field characteristics under different operating conditions. Currently, the mainstream method is to obtain nozzle flow field characteristics through CFD numerical simulation, but the CFD method is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, based on the depth learning principle, a depth Convolutional neural network based on U-NET framework is established to quickly predict the flow field of S-shaped shock wave vectoring nozzle with afterdeck. Using CFD data for training, the results show that the depth learning model has high prediction accuracy and can clearly predict the flow field characteristics inside the nozzle, especially the secondary flow and the complex wave structure near the afterdeck. The correction Coefficient of determination of the prediction model is greater than 0.97. And the time consumption is about 0.0689% of that of a conventional solver. It has good application prospects in quickly evaluating the flow field of S-shaped nozzles.

Numerical investigate on flow process and mixing characteristics of hydrogen/aluminum powder two-phase fuel under different inlet and injection conditions

The flow and mixing process of a hydrogen/aluminum powder two-phase fuel transverse jet in a supersonic cross flow are simulated in this work using the Euler-Lagrangian scheme. The effects of the inlet Mach numbers (Ma) and jet-to-crossflow momentum flux ratios (J) on the mixing process and flow characteristics of the gas-solid two-phase fuel are investigated. The results show that there are substantial differences in the flow and mixing properties of the two-phase fuel consisting of hydrogen and aluminum powder. While the powder fuel has a minimal impact on the flow field, the interaction of the hydrogen jet with the supersonic cross flow creates complex wave structures in the flow field. Hydrogen is influenced by the large-scale structures of the counter-rotating vortex pair (CVPs) and surface-trailing counter-rotating vortex pairs (TCVPs) in the flow field. In contrast, the powder fuel is influenced by various initial conditions, including the momentum of the hydrogen jet, the momentum of the supersonic mainstream, and the size of the combustor. The mixing efficiency of hydrogen is 7.381%–33.933 % higher than that of the powdered fuel under the same inlet and injection conditions. The comparison showed that the mixing efficiency of hydrogen decreases with the increase of injection momentum and inlet Mach number, while the mixing efficiency of powder fuel increases with increase of injection momentum and inlet Mach number. Among them, the mixing efficiency of hydrogen and powder fuel under the conditions of Ma = 1.6 and J = 0.86 are 0.63 and 0.29, respectively. The mixing efficiency of hydrogen and powder fuel under the conditions of Ma = 3.0 and J = 1.72 are 0.48 and 0.41, respectively.

Accelerated initiation of oblique detonation induced by disturbance in detonative zone

In the real flow for high altitude, the initiation mechanism of the oblique detonation involves the coupling of complex wave structures and combustion waves, which may result in the phenomenon of extinction. The approach of stable initiation is one of the key factors that restricting the oblique detonation engine from theory to practice. The wave structure, initiation characteristics and characteristic parameters of the flow field are analyzed, the two-dimensional Euler equation considering the detailed chemical reactions of multi-component are solved. First, the approaches of blunt bump and transverse jet are combined used to shorten the detonation distance of the oblique detonation. Results show that these methods can promote the accelerated initiation of the oblique detonation effectively, and the detonation distance can be shortened more than 90%. There are two wave structures induced by the blunt bump: weak coupled and strong coupled, adding the transverse jet promotes the transition between these two wave structures. Then, the shape of the bump and the characteristic parameters of the transverse jet are optimized. The streamline-shape bump can eliminate the recirculation zone formed after the circle bump and the ellipse bump. The transverse jet will produce an oblique detonation wave at the front of the jet position, which changes the wave structure and initiation mode of the oblique detonation wave. It is expected to reveal the accelerated initiation mechanism of oblique detonation under the induction zone disturbance and complex flow environment, deepen the understanding of the detonation law of oblique detonation wave under real flow conditions, and provide a scientific basic for the development of the combustor of the oblique detonation engine.

Spray characteristics of a liquid fuel jet in a tandem backward-facing step cavity in supersonic flow

The influences of the backward-facing step and injection schemes on the spray characteristics of a liquid jet in a tandem backward-facing step cavity were investigated experimentally using high-speed photography and Schlieren techniques under a Mach 2.0 supersonic crossflow for the first time. The instantaneous structures of the spray and wave structures of the air-flow field were accurately captured by the high temporal resolution experimental technology. It is found that exist complex wave structures in the tandem backward-facing step cavity. A dimensionless spray factor was defined to describe the concentration of spray inside the cavity qualitatively. As a result, it is revealed that for the short backward-facing step cavity, the injection scheme near the upstream inlet has a higher penetration depth but a lower spray distribution, while the injection scheme near the cavity has a more spray distribution. For the long backward-facing step cavity, the injection scheme near the upstream inlet also has a higher penetration depth and the injection scheme near the sharp corner of the backward-facing step has a more sufficient spray distribution. The long backward-facing step cavity-based combustor with the upstream wall transverse injection is an optimized injection scheme to both improve penetration and spray distribution inside the cavity. Finally, a penetration depth formula is proposed to explain the spray distribution behaviors in a tandem backward-facing step cavity.

Wave structure of the gas flow in a truncated nozzle with a long bell-shaped tip

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to nozzles with an unconventional profile, which differs from that of the classical streamline-profiled Laval nozzle. In such nozzles, the flow fields typically include interacting supersonic and subsonic flows, often with recirculation regions and a complex wave structure of the flow. This work is concerned with a numerical study of the wave structure of the gas flow in a truncated supersonic nozzle with an elliptical bell-shaped tip whose length is long in comparison with the conical section upstream of the tip. The gas flow inside the nozzle and in the surrounding space was simulated using the ANSYS software package. The calculations were carried out in a non-stationary axisymmetric formulation based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations closed with the use of the SST turbulence model with near-wall functions and a compressibility correction. In the calculations, the nozzle inlet pressure and the ambient pressure were varied. The correctness of the methodological approaches to the solution of the problem was confirmed in the authors’ previous works. The study showed the following. At low values of the nozzle inlet pressure (P0 < 50 bar) and an ambient pressure of 1 bar, the tip wall exhibits a developed separation zone with a large-scale vortex and a small-scale one (near the tip exit). The first "barrel" of the outflowing gas shows a "saddle" low-intensity compression wave structure. In the case of a separated flow, the tip wall pressure in the separation zone is about 15% less than the ambient pressure. At P0 > 100 bar, the tip wall pressure is nearly proportional to the nozzle inlet pressure. In the upper atmosphere, when going in a radial direction from the nozzle axis at the tip exit cross-section, the static pressure monotonically decreases, reaches a minimum, and then increases linearly to the its maximum value on the tip wall. In the case of a separated flow in the tip at a sea-level ambient pressure, the static pressure at the tip exit cross-section behaves in the same manner for inlet pressures P0 > 50 bar. At P0 = 50 bar, there exist two extrema: the pressure first deceases to its minimum value, then increases to its maximum value, and then decreases slightly to its value on the tip wall.

Numerical Investigation on the Interaction between Rocket Jet and Supersonic Inflow

For the problem of interaction between rocket gas jet and supersonic inflow, this paper has investigated the relevant flow field characteristics by numerical simulation. Firstly, a computational program was developed using high-resolution schemes to solve complex supersonic flow field, which solves the Navier-Stokes equations based on a multi-block structural grid using finite volume method as well as k − ω SST turbulence model. Then, a classical experiment was conducted to validate the developed code. Results show that the rocket jet strongly interacts with the supersonic inflow that results in complex wave structure. The nozzle inlet mass flow rate has an important influence on the interaction. When the mass flow rate is in a low level, flow separation and shock train occur in the divergent region, leading to violent oscillation of flow. With the mass flow rate of nozzle inlet increasing, the rocket gas expands continuously after passing the nozzle outlet and the rocket jet would induce more complex shocks.

Characteristics of penetration and distribution of a liquid jet in a divergent cavity-based combustor

The atomization process of a liquid jet in a divergent cavity-based combustor was investigated experimentally using high-speed photography and schlieren techniques under a Mach number 2.0 supersonic crossflow. Gas-liquid flow field was studied at different divergent angles and injection schemes. It is found that complex wave structures exist in the divergent cavity-based combustor. The spray field can be divided into three distinct zones: surface wave-dominated breakup zone, rapid atomization zone and cavity mixing zone. A dimensionless spray factor is defined to describe the concentration of spray inside the cavity qualitatively. As a result, it is revealed that for the large divergent angle cavity, the injection scheme near the upstream inlet has a higher penetration depth but a lower spray distribution, where the injection scheme near the cavity has a more spray distribution. For the small divergent angle cavity, the injection scheme near the upstream inlet also has a higher penetration depth and the injection scheme near the start point of the divergent section has a more sufficient spray distribution. The small divergent angle cavity-based combustor with the upstream wall transverse injection is an optimized injection scheme to improve both penetration and spray distribution inside the cavity. Finally, a penetration depth formula is proposed to explain the spray and distribution behaviors in the divergent cavity-based combustor.

Optimization for aerodynamic performance of double serpentine nozzles with spanwise offsets using Taguchi-based CFD analysis

Serpentine nozzles are widely used in combat aircraft to realize strong stealth characteristics. Based on the layout characteristics within a confined space, a series of double serpentine nozzles with spanwise offsets are established. Using computational fluid dynamics and Taguchi method, the influence mechanisms of the Distribution of Area (DA), Distributions of Centerline for the first and second ‘S’ sections in the Vertical direction (DCV1 and DCV2), and Distribution of Centerline in the Spanwise direction (DCS) are analyzed. The impact of these factors on the total pressure recovery coefficient can be ranked as DA > DCV2 > DCS > DCV1, whereas their impacts on the discharge coefficient and axial thrust coefficient can be ranked as DCV2 > DCS > DA > DCV1. Considering the statistical significance of these factors, a nozzle in which DA changes rapidly at the exit and DCV1, DCV2, and DCS change rapidly at the entrance gives the best aerodynamic performance. Compared to the worst configuration, the total pressure recovery coefficient, discharge coefficient, and axial thrust coefficient are improved by 1.6%,3.5% and 3.6%, respectively. DA influences the gas flow acceleration in the entire serpentine channel, resulting in different wall shear stress and friction losses. The various centerline distributions influence the gas flow acceleration effects and form complex wave structures in the constant-area extension section, resulting in different local and friction losses.

Shock Compression of Fluorapatite to 120 GPa

AbstractApatite is a phosphate mineral relevant to shock metamorphism in planetary materials. Here, we report on the response of natural fluorapatite from Durango, Mexico, under shock wave loading between 14.5 and 119.5 GPa. Wave profile measurements were obtained in plate‐impact experiments conducted on [0001]‐oriented fluorapatite single crystals. To 30 GPa peak stresses, we observed a two‐wave structure indicating an elastic‐inelastic response with elastic wave amplitudes of 10.5–13.1 GPa. Between 39.1 and 62.1 GPa, a complex wave structure was observed involving the propagation of three waves. At and above 73.7 GPa, only a single shock wave was observed. The data above 73.7 GPa provided the following linear shock velocity—particle velocity relationship: Us = 6.5(2) + 0.78(6) up, (mm/μs). Above 80 GPa, the densities in the shocked state exceed both the extrapolated 300‐K density of fluorapatite and the predicted 300‐K density for a mixture of the high‐pressure assemblage, tuite, and CaF2. This result indicates that fluorapatite undergoes a transition to a denser structure under shock loading at these conditions. The shock response of fluorapatite is observed to be similar to that of enstatite but stiffer than quartz and albite at the stresses examined in this work.

Detonation Wave Propagation of Double-Layer Shaped Charge and Its Driving Characteristics to the Liner

The double-layer charge can effectively improve the axial driving ability of explosives, which shows a considerable engineering application prospect in highly efficient damage warheads. Due to the complex wave structure produced by the overpressure detonation of a double-layer charge, a series of dynamic behaviors inside the shaped charge liner will be affected. By comparing the detonation wave shapes of single-layer charge and double-layer shaped charge structure and the jet shaping parameters of a double-layer shaped charge with different structural parameters, the evolution of detonation wave and the state parameters in the wave system are analyzed in this research. The research found that the double-layer charge with high detonation velocity in the outer layer and low detonation velocity in the inner layer can produce continuous overpressure detonation, which makes the overpressure detonation state be applied efficiently. Meanwhile, this study found that the overpressure detonation field formed by the double-layer charge changes the action law of the traditional single charge on the shaped charge liner. The detonation waveform of the entire charge is controlled by different detonation velocities and detonation energies, and a detonation waveform that matched well with the shaped charge liner is obtained. This study solves the matching relationship between the structure of the overpressure detonation wave system and the properties of a double-layer charge, which is of great value for improving the detonation-driving effect of condensed explosives on surrounding media. The double-layer charge can effectively enhance the potential of explosive charge. It is not only widely used in military fields such as improving the armor-breaking power of shaped charge penetrators and improving the muzzle velocity and concentration of fragments of directional warheads, but also can promote the development of industrial fields such as explosive processing.

Dynamics of lump chains for the BKP equation describing propagation of nonlinear waves

A large member of lump chain solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (BKP) equation are constructed by means of the τ-function in the form of Grammian. The lump chains are formed by periodic arrangement of individual lumps and travel with distinct group and velocities. An analytical method related dominant regions of polygon is developed to analyze the interaction dynamics of the multiple lump chains. The degenerate structures of parallel, superimposed, and molecular lump chains are presented. The interaction solutions between lump chains and kink-solitons are investigated, where the kink-solitons lie on the boundaries of dominant region determined by the constant term in the τ-function. Furthermore, the hybrid solutions consisting of lump chains and individual lumps controlled by the parameter with high rank and depth are investigated. The analytical method presented in this paper can be further extended to other integrable systems to explore complex wave structures.

Dynamic Properties of Non-Autonomous Femtosecond Waves Modeled by the Generalized Derivative NLSE with Variable Coefficients

The primary purpose of this study is to analyze non-autonomous femtosecond waves with various geometrical configurations correlated to the generalized derivative nonlinear Shrödinger equation (NLSE) with variable coefficients. Numerous academic publications, especially in nonlinear optics, material science, semiconductor, chemical engineering, and many other fields, have looked into this model since it is closer to real-world situations and has more complex wave structures than models with constant coefficients. It can serve as a reflection for the slowly altering inhomogeneities, non-uniformities, and forces acting on boundaries. New complex wave solutions in two different categories are proposed: implicit and elliptic (or periodic or hyperbolic) forms are obtained for this model via the unified method. Indeed, the innovative wave solutions that were achieved and reported here are helpful for investigating optical communication applications as well as the transmission characteristics of light pulses.

Effects of the partially open inlet on shock waves and spontaneous ignition during the leakage of hydrogen

Unexpected spontaneous combustion and shock waves can occur when high-pressure hydrogen leaks into pipelines, whilst irregular leakage ports affect their features. In this paper, shock waves and self-ignition are experimentally and numerically studied after the pressurized hydrogen is released through the partially open inlet. And the effects of tube length and release pressure are investigated. Pressure signals, light signals, and flame images are used to characterize the shockwave, self-ignition, and flame propagation. Results show that the shock-affected region can be formed near the partially open inlet. It is accompanied by complex wave structures, shock wave interactions, and shock wave focusing. The contact surface is distorted and deformed. The flow field parameters near the inlet change dramatically and are unevenly distributed, which affect the overpressure characteristics recorded by the pressure sensors. The initial intensity of the shock wave is lower than that in tubes with the fully open inlet at the early stage of the leakage. In addition, the partially open inlet influences the critical pressure at which spontaneous ignition occurs and the flame evolution inside or outside the tube. It has an inhibition effect on spontaneous ignition, but this inhibition effect weakens with increasing tube length.

Detection of magnetohydrodynamic waves by using convolutional neural networks

Nonlinear wave interactions in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), such as shock refraction at an inclined density interface, lead to a plethora of wave patterns with numerous wave types. Identification of different types of MHD waves is an important and challenging task in such complex wave patterns. Moreover, owing to the multiplicity of solutions and their admissibility for different systems, especially for intermediate-type MHD shock waves, the identification of MHD wave types is complicated if one relies on the Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions. MHD wave detection is further exacerbated by nonphysical smearing of discontinuous shock waves in numerical simulations. This paper proposes two MHD wave detection methods based on convolutional neural network to enable wave classification and identify their locations. The first method separates the output into regression (location prediction) and classification problems, assuming the number of waves for each training data is fixed. In contrast, the second method does not specify the number of waves a priori, and the algorithm predicts wave locations and classifies types using only regression. We use one-dimensional input data (density, velocity, and magnetic fields) to train the two models that successfully reproduce a complex two-dimensional MHD shock refraction structure. The first fixed output model efficiently provides high precision and recall, achieving total neural network accuracy up to 99%, and the classification accuracy of some waves approaches unity. The second detection model has relatively low performance, with more sensitivity to the setting of parameters, such as the number of grid cells Ngrid and the thresholds of confidence score and class probability, etc. The detection model achieves better than 90% accuracy with F1 score >0.95. The proposed two methods demonstrate very strong potential for MHD wave detection in complex wave structures and interactions.

Numerical modelling of breaking wave impact loads on a vertical seawall retrofitted with different geometrical configurations of recurve parapets

Abstract Experiments are the traditional techniques used in coastal engineering to study complex wave structure interactions. However, with the advent of high-performance computing, even performing 1:1 scale numerical simulations has become a reality. The progress aids in extending the parametric investigation or repeating the procedure for comparable structures. In this study, a numerical model in OpenFOAM® with waves2Foam wave boundary conditions is used to simulate wave structure interactions at seawalls with varied geometrical configurations of recurved parapets. The numerical model is validated by employing ForschungsZentrum Küste (FZK)'s large-scale (1:1) experiments. The validated model is then applied to the plain parapet and vertical wall to understand better overtopping behaviour, pressure distribution, and structural loads. Numerical modelling is used in this study to visualise and assess intrinsic parameters such as the velocity profile, vorticity, air entrapment, and entrainment better to understand the dissipation characteristics of seawalls with recurved parapets.
