We study the stability of positive radially symmetric solitary waves for a three dimensional generalisation of the Korteweg de Vries equation, which describes nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetised plasma, and for a generalisation in dimension two of the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation.

Abstract. The interaction of a magnetized asteroid with the solar wind is studied by using a three-dimensional hybrid simulation code (fluid electrons, kinetic ions). When the obstacle's intrinsic magnetic moment is sufficiently strong, the interaction region develops signs of magnetospheric structures. On the one hand, an area from which the solar wind is excluded forms downstream of the obstacle. On the other hand, the interaction region is surrounded by a boundary layer which indicates the presence of a bow shock. By analyzing the trajectories of individual ions, it is demonstrated that kinetic effects have global consequences for the structure of the interaction region.

AbstractThe hydrodynamic equations of positive and negative ions, degenerate electrons, and the Poisson equation are used along with the reductive perturbation method to derive the three-dimensional Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) equation. The G′/G-expansion method is used to obtain a new class of solutions for the ZK equation. At certain condition, these solutions can describe the solitary waves that propagate in our plasma. The effects of negative ion concentrations, the positive/negative ion cyclotron frequency, as well as positive-to-negative ion mass ratio on solitary pulses are examined. Finally, the present study might be helpful to understand the propagation of nonlinear ion-acoustic solitary waves in a dense plasma, such as in astrophysical objects.

AbstractThe dynamics of solitary gravity–capillary water waves propagating on the surface of a three-dimensional fluid domain is studied numerically. In order to accurately compute complex time-dependent solutions, we simplify the full potential flow problem by using surface variables and taking a particular cubic truncation possessing a Hamiltonian with desirable properties. This approximation agrees remarkably well with the full equations for the bifurcation curves, wave profiles and the dynamics of solitary waves for a two-dimensional fluid domain, and with higher-order truncations in three dimensions. Fully localized solitary waves are then computed in the three-dimensional problem and the stability and interaction of both line and localized solitary waves are investigated via numerical time integration of the equations. There are many solitary wave branches, indexed by their finite energy as their amplitude tends to zero. The dynamics of the solitary waves is complex, involving nonlinear focusing of wavepackets, quasi-elastic collisions, and the generation of propagating, spatially localized, time-periodic structures akin to breathers.
