SUMMARY:Séminaire du LPTMS: Thibault Congy - LPTMS\, salle 201\, 2ème ét
 age\, Bât 100\, Campus d'Orsay - 14 Mai 19 11:00
DESCRIPTION:Wave-mean flow interactions in dispersive hydrodynamics\nThibau
 lt Congy (Department of Mathematics\, Physics and Electrical Engineering\,
  Northumbria University\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, UK)\nThe interaction of wa
 ves with a mean flow is a fundamental and longstanding problem in fluid me
 chanics. The key to the study of such an interaction is the scale separati
 on\, whereby the length and time scales of the waves are much shorter than
  those of the mean flow. The wave-mean flow interaction has been extensive
 ly studied for the cases when the mean flow is prescribed externally—as 
 a stationary or time-dependent current (a "potential barrier").\n\nIn this
  talk\, I will describe a new type of the wave-mean flow interactions wher
 eby a short-scale linear wave is incident on a evolving large-scale nonlin
 ear dispersive hydrodynamic state: a rarefaction wave or a dispersive shoc
 k wave (DSW). Modulation equations are derived for the coupling between th
 e wavepacket and the mean flow in the nonlinear dispersive hydrodynamic st
 ate. These equations admit particular classes of solutions that describe t
 he transmission or trapping of the linear wave by an unsteady hydrodynamic
  state. Two adiabatic invariants of motion are identified in both cases th
 at determine the transmission\, trapping conditions and show that wavepack
 ets incident upon smooth expansion waves or compressive\, rapidly oscillat
 ing DSWs exhibit so-called hydrodynamic reciprocity.\n\nThe developed theo
 ry is general and can be applied to a broad class of nonlinear dispersive 
 wave equations in various physical contexts including nonlinear optics and
  cold atom physics. The Korteweg-de Vries equation will be considered as a
  concrete example. This is joint work with Gennady El and Mark Hoefer\, an
 d the talk is based on Ref. [1].\n\n[1] T. Congy\, G. A. El and M. A. Hoef
