    Standing waves for a generalized Davey-Stewartson system
    (IOP Publishing, 2006-10-27) Eden, Osman Alp; Erbay, Saadet
    In this paper, we establish the existence of non-trivial solutions for a semi-linear elliptic partial differential equation with a non-local term. This result allows us to prove the existence of standing wave ( ground state) solutions for a generalized Davey-Stewartson system. A sharp upper bound is also obtained on the size of the initial values for which solutions exist globally.

    A note on the amplitude modulation of symmetric regularized long-wave equation with quartic nonlinearity
    (Springer, 2012-12) Demiray, Hilmi
    We study the amplitude modulation of a symmetric regularized long-wave equation with quartic nonlinearity through the use of the reductive perturbation method by introducing a new set of slow variables. The nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with seventh order nonlinearity is obtained as the evolution equation for the lowest order term in the perturbation expansion. It is also shown that the NLS equation with seventh order nonlinearity assumes an envelope type of solitary wave solution.

    Shapes and statistics of the rogue waves generated by chaotic ocean current
    (International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2016) Bayındır, Cihan
    In this study we discuss the shapes and statistics of the rogue (freak) waves emerging due to wave-current interactions. With this purpose, we use a simple governing equation which is a nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) extended by R. Smith (1976). This extended NLSE accounts for the effects of current gradient on the nonlinear dynamics of the ocean surface near blocking point. Using a split-step scheme we show that the extended NLSE of Smith is unstable against random chaotic perturbation in the current profile. Therefore the monochromatic wave field with unit amplitude turns into a chaotic sea state with many peaks. By comparing the numerical and analytical results, we show that rogue waves due to perturbations in the current profile are in the form of rational rogue wave solutions of the NLSE. We also discuss the effects of magnitude of the chaotic current profile perturbations on the statistics of the rogue wave generation at the ocean surface. The extension term in Smith's extended NLSE causes phase shifts and it does not change the total energy level of the wave field. Using the methodology adopted in this study, the dynamics of rogue wave occurrence on the ocean surface due to blocking effect of currents can be studied. This enhances the safety of the offshore operations and ocean travel.

    Higher order approximations in reductive perturbation method: Strongly dispersive waves
    (2005-08) Demiray, Hilmi
    Contribution of higher order terms in the perturbation expansion for the strongly dispersive ion-plasma waves is examined through the use of modified reductive perturbation method developed early by us. It is shown that the lowest order term in the expansion is governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation while the second-order term is governed by the linear Schrödinger equation. For the small wave number region a set of solution is presented for the evolution equations.

    Early detection of rogue waves by the wavelet transforms
    (Elsevier, 2016-01-08) Bayındır, Cihan
    We discuss the possible advantages of using the wavelet transform over the Fourier transform for the early detection of rogue waves. We show that the triangular wavelet spectra of the rogue waves can be detected at early stages of the development of rogue waves in a chaotic wave field. Compared to the Fourier spectra, the wavelet spectra are capable of detecting not only the emergence of a rogue wave but also its possible spatial (or temporal) location. Due to this fact, wavelet transform is also capable of predicting the characteristic distances between successive rogue waves. Therefore multiple simultaneous breaking of the successive rogue waves on ships or on the offshore structures can be predicted and avoided by smart designs and operations.

    Reducing a generalized Davey-Stewartson system to a non-local nonlinear Schrodinger equation
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-07-30) Eden, Osman Alp; Erbay, Saadet; Hacınlıyan, Irma
    In the present study, we consider a generalized (2 + 1) Davey-Stewartson (GDS) system consisting of a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) type equation for the complex amplitude of a short wave and two asymmetrically coupled linear wave equations for long waves propagating in an infinite elastic medium. We obtain integral representation of solutions to the coupled linear wave equations and reduce the GDS system to a NLS equation with non-local terms. Finally, we present localized solutions to the GDS system, decaying in both spatial coordinates, for a special choice of parameters by using the integral representation of solutions to the coupled linear wave equations.

    Two-dimensional wave packets in an elastic solid with couple stresses
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-08) Babaoğlu, Ceni; Erbay, Saadet
    The problem of (2+1) (two spatial and one temporal) dimensional wave propagation in a bulk medium composed of an elastic material with couple stresses is considered. The aim is to derive (2+1) non-linear model equations for the description of elastic waves in the far field. Using a multi-scale expansion of quasi-monochromatic wave solutions, it is shown that the modulation of waves is governed by a system of three non-linear evolution equations. These equations involve amplitudes of a short transverse wave, a long transverse wave and a long longitudinal wave, and will be called the "generalized Davey Stewartson equations". Under some restrictions on parameter values, the generalized Davey-Stewartson equations reduce to the Davey-Stewartson and to the non-linear Schrodinger equations. Finally, some special solutions involving sech-tanh-tanh and tanh-tanh-tanh type solitary wave solutions are presented.
