The interaction of shock waves and dispersive waves
… equations which model the interaction of shocks with a dispersive wave envelope. The system mimics the Zakharov equations from weak plasma turbulence theory but replaces the linear wave equation in that system by a nonlinear equation allowing shock formation. This nonlinear equation is a …

Ultrafast dynamic ellipsometry of laser driven shock waves
… optical properties of samples under laser driven shock loading. Ultrafast dynamic ellipsometry, a technique based on space-shifted spectral interferometry, uses the time-dependent frequency of a chirped laser pulse to provide time encoding, allowing the picosecond probing of material dynamics in a …

Weak Shock Waves on a Chip: Generation and Applications
In conventional laser-shock experiments in solid media, shock waves are typically excited from the ablation of a photoacoustic transducer layer deposited onto the sample of interest. Unavoidably, the target materials are damaged. This leads to the necessity of changing targets after each exposure, …

Shock Waves in Gas and Plasma in Strong Magnetic Fields
Shock waves in magnetized plasma are central to particle acceleration, high-energyradiation, and energy transport in astrophysical systems. However, direct measurements in the MG field regime relevant to white dwarf accretions, cataclysmic variables, and supernova remnants remain under tested. In …

Simulation of the generation and propagation of blast induced shock waves
Hybrid modelling of blast vibration uses the signal produced from a single hole test shot to simulate the vibration that would be produced by a full-scale production blast. This simulation can be used to determine optimum hole timings to minimise the vibration generated at a point of interest. This …

Nonlinear spin waves in magnetic thin films - foldover, dispersive shock waves, and spin pumping
Three nonlinear phenomena of spin waves and the spin Seebeck effect in yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/Pt bi-layer structures are studied in this thesis and are reported in detail in Chapters 4-7. In the fourth chapter, the first observation of foldover effect of nonlinear eigenmodes in feedback ring …
