Experimental evidence and a theoretical formulation describing the interaction between a progressive surface wave and a nearly standing subharmonic internal wave in a two-layer system are presented. Laboratory investigations into the dynamics of an interface between water and a fluidized sediment bed reveal that progressive surface waves can excite short standing waves at this interface. The corresponding theoretical analysis is second order and specifically considers the case where the internal wave, composed of two oppositely travelling harmonics, is much shorter than the surface wave. Furthermore, the analysis is limited to the case where the internal waves are small, so that only the initial growth is described. Approximate solution to the nonlinear boundary value problem is facilitated through a perturbation expansion in surface wave steepness. When certain resonance conditions are imposed, quadratic interactions between any two of the harmonics are in phase with the third, yielding a resonant triad. At the second order, evolution equations are derived for the internal wave amplitudes. Solution of these equations in the inviscid limit reveals that, at this order, the growth rates for the internal waves are purely imaginary. The introduction of viscosity into the analysis has the effect of modifying the evolution equations so that the growth rates are complex. As a result, the amplitudes of the internal waves are found to grow exponentially in time. Physically, the viscosity has the effect of adjusting the phase of the pressure so that there is net work done on the internal waves. The growth rates are, in addition, shown to be functions of the density ratio of the two fluids, the fluid layer depths, and the surface wave conditions.

ABSTRACTIn the current paper we present a continuum theory of dislocations based on the second-order alignment tensor in conjunction with the classical dislocation density tensor (Kröner-Nye-tensor) and a scalar dislocation curvature measure. The second-order alignment tensor is a symmetric second order tensor characterizing the orientation distribution of dislocations in elliptic form. It is closely connected to total densities of screw and edge dislocations introduced in the literature. The scalar dislocation curvature density is a conserved quantity the integral of which represents the total number of dislocations in the system. The presented evolution equations of these dislocation density measures partly parallel earlier developed theories based on screw-edge decompositions but handle line length changes and segment reorientation consistently. We demonstrate that the presented equations allow predicting the evolution of a single dislocation loop in a non-trivial velocity field.

We look at estimates for the Green’s function of time-fractional evolution equations of the form D 0 + * ν u = L u , where D 0 + * ν is a Caputo-type time-fractional derivative, depending on a Lévy kernel ν with variable coefficients, which is comparable to y - 1 - β for β ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) , and L is an operator acting on the spatial variable. First, we obtain global two-sided estimates for the Green’s function of D 0 β u = L u in the case that L is a second order elliptic operator in divergence form. Secondly, we obtain global upper bounds for the Green’s function of D 0 β u = Ψ ( - i ∇ ) u where Ψ is a pseudo-differential operator with constant coefficients that is homogeneous of order α . Thirdly, we obtain local two-sided estimates for the Green’s function of D 0 β u = L u where L is a more general non-degenerate second order elliptic operator. Finally we look at the case of stable-like operator, extending the second result from a constant coefficient to variable coefficients. In each case, we also estimate the spatial derivatives of the Green’s functions. To obtain these bounds we use a particular form of the Mittag-Leffler functions, which allow us to use directly known estimates for the Green’s functions associated with L and Ψ , as well as estimates for stable densities. These estimates then allow us to estimate the solutions to a wide class of problems of the form D 0 ( ν , t ) u = L u , where D ( ν , t ) is a Caputo-type operator with variable coefficients.
