Nonlinear Waves in Dispersive and Dissipative Systems

This book investigates problems where nonlinear wave phenomena play a crucial role, including nonlinear acoustics, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, and magnetohydrodynamics; Examines complicated mechanical systems affected by different external forces; Discusses surface and internal waves in two-fluid configuration as well as fast and slow magnetohydrodynamic waves; Contains basic terminology - both physical and mathematical; Reviews the latest developments in complex wave systems; Presents a line of new models and evolution equations; Outlines an original approach to the modeling of multi-mode systems with coupled modes.
