Title: Extreme nonlinear dynamics in vacuum laser acceleration with a crossed beam configuration

Abstract

A relatively simple model problem where a single electron moves in two relativistically strong obliquely intersecting plane wave-packets is studied using a number of different numerical solvers. It is shown that, in general, even the most advanced solvers are unable to obtain converged solutions for more than about 100 fs in contrast to the single plane wave problem, and that some basic metrics of the orbit show enormous sensitivity to the initial conditions. Finally, at a bare minimum, this indicates an unusual degree of nonlinearity, and may well indicate that the dynamics of this system are chaotic.

Numerical investigations of nonlinear behavior in the Einstein equations

Miscellaneous Anninos, P

The complexity of the Einstein equations of General Relatively poses great challenges to investigator who want to explore and understand the nature of the basis nonlinear physics of the gravitational field. To address this problem, a numerical code is developed as a tool to investigate fully nonlinear behavior in the simplified 1-dimensional vacuum cosmology. In particular, the initial value construction and evolution of linear and nonlinear plane symmetric gravitational waves are studied in an expanding universe described by the Gowdy T{sup 3} class of metrics. A perturbative treatment of the Einstein equations is carried out to obtain analytic descriptions ofmore »« less

Mechanisms of interfacial reactivity in near surface and extreme environments

Technical Report Chen, Ying ; Balaska, Eric ; Weare, John ; ...

The local water structure surrounding ions in aqueous solutions greatly affects their chemical properties such as reaction rates, ion association, and proton and electron transport. These properties result in the behavior of ions in natural aqueous environments. For example ore transport is facilitated by chloride ion pair formation and the reaction of ions in an interface is strongly dependent on the dehydration of the ion hydration shell. We are developing the use of high-resolution XAFS observations and 1st principles based MD-XAFS analysis (spectra simulated using 1st principle methods with no adjustable parameters, AIMD) to interpret the solution properties of stronglymore »« less

One-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equation: A nonlinear dynamical approach

Journal Article Wan, Y ; Soukoulis, C M - Physical Review, A (General Physics); (USA)

We have studied a time-independent nonlinear Schroedinger equation of the tight-binding form on a one-dimensional lattice. The real and complex wave functions as solutions to the equation are considered separately for different physical problems. For each case, an area-preserving map for the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation is introduced and analyzed. The bounded solutions can be organized in hierarchies composed of periodic, quasiperiodic, as well as chaotic orbits on the phase plane of the nonlinear map. A stability-zone'' diagram, where the bounded orbits exist, is displayed in the parameter space, serving as phase diagram'' of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation under appropriatemore »« less

A comparative numerical analysis of linear and nonlinear aerodynamic sound generation by vortex disturbances in homentropic constant shear flows

Journal Article Hau, Jan-Niklas ; Oberlack, Martin ; GSC CE, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Dolivostraße 15, 64293 Darmstadt ; ... - Physics of Fluids (1994)

Aerodynamic sound generation in shear flows is investigated in the light of the breakthrough in hydrodynamics stability theory in the 1990s, where generic phenomena of non-normal shear flow systems were understood. By applying the thereby emerged short-time/non-modal approach, the sole linear mechanism of wave generation by vortices in shear flows was captured [G. D. Chagelishvili, A. Tevzadze, G. Bodo, and S. S. Moiseev, “Linear mechanism of wave emergence from vortices in smooth shear flows,” Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 3178-3181 (1997); B. F. Farrell and P. J.
