Published: April 2019

The aim of this study is to present a peculiar experimental setup, designed to investigate the interaction between solitary waves and rigid emergent vegetation. Flow rate changes due to the opening and closing of a software-controlled electro-valve generate a solitary wave. The complexity of the problem required the combined use of different measurement systems of water level and velocity. Preliminary results of the experimental investigation, which allow us to point out the effect of the vegetation on the propagation of a solitary wave and the effectiveness of the measuring system, are also presented. In particular, water level and velocity field changes due to the interaction of the wave with rigid vegetation are investigated in detail.

Magnetoacoustic wave propagation in the solar corona and filament dynamics.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Mathematics, KU Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200B, Leuven, Belgium.

The formation of a S-shaped filament was investigated to determine if and how magnetoacoustic waves in the solar corona can trigger filament excitation. The study investigated how magnetoacoustic waves interact with two magnetic null points in the solar corona. Since the solar corona has a complex magnetic field structure, it is expected that magnetic structures are predominantly responsible for the occurrence of coronal events.

Solitary wave solutions to the nonlinear evolution equations have recently attracted widespread interest in engineering and physical sciences. In this work, we investigate the fractional generalised nonlinear Pochhammer-Chree equation under the power-law of nonlinearity with order m. This equation is used to describe longitudinal deformation wave propagation in an elastic rod.
