Variational solutions for Hermite-Gaussian solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media

The physical features exhibited by Hermite-Gaussian （HC） beams propagating in nonlocal nonlinear media with Gaussian-shaped response are discussed with an approximate variational method.Using direct numerical simulations,we find that the beam properties in the normalized system are different with the change of the degree of nonlocality.It is shown that initial HG profiles break up into several individual beams with propagation when the degree of nonlocality α is small.HG beams can propagate stably when a is large enough.

Elegant Ince-Gaussian breathers in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media

A novel class of optical breathers, called elegant Ince-Gaussian breathers, are presented in this paper. They are exact analytical solutions to Snyder and Mitchell＇s mode in an elliptic coordinate system, and their transverse structures are described by Ince-polynomials with complex arguments and a Gaussian function. We provide convincing evidence for the correctness of the solutions and the existence of the breathers via comparing the analytical solutions with numerical simulation of the nonlocal nonlinear SchrSdinger equation.

Nonlinear optical properties in double-sided nonlinear media with Z-scan technique based on the Huygens-Fresnel principle

We present a theoretical model to analyse the propagation of a Gaussian laser beam through double-sided nonlinear media. This model is based on the Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral method. This theoretical model is not only consistent with the cascade structure model for a small nonlinear phase-shift but also can be used for a large nonlinear phase-shift. It has been verified that it is suitable to characterize the double-sided nonlinear media compared with the cascade structure model. A good agreement between the experimental data and the results from the theoretical model is obtained. It will be useful for the design of multi-sided nonlinear materials.

Propagation of optical vortex solitons due to the Gouy phase in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media

In this paper, we present a study on the propagation of the symmetrical optical vortices formed by two collinear Laguerre-Gauss solitons in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media. The optical vortices, which move along the beam axis as the light propagates, result in a rotation of the beam＇s transverse profile. This physical reason of the rotation is the Gouy phase acquired by the component beams.

Dark incoherent spatial solitons in logarithmically saturable nonlinear media

This paper studies numerically the dark incoherent spatial solitons propagating in logarithmically saturable nonlinear media by using a coherent density approach and a split-step Fourier approach for the first time. Under odd and even initial conditions, a soliton triplet and a doublet are obtained respectively for given parameters. Simultaneously, coherence properties associated with the soliton triplet and doublet are discussed. In addition, if the values of the parameters are properly chosen, five and four splittings from the input dark incoherent spatial solitons can also form. Lastly, the grayness of the soliton triplet and that of the doublet are studied, in detail.

Collapse arrest in a two-dimensional Airy Gaussian beam and Airy Gaussian vortex beam in nonlocal nonlinear media

Propagation dynamics of a two-dimensional Airy Gaussian beam and Airy Gaussian vortex beam are investigated numerically in local and nonlocal nonlinear media.The self-healing and collapse of the beam crucially depend on the distribution factor b and the topological charge m.With the aid of nonlocality,a stable Airy Gaussian beam and an Airy Gaussian vortex beam with larger amplitude can be obtained,which always collapse in local nonlinear media.When the distribution factor b is large enough,the Airy Gaussian vortex beam will transfer into quasivortex solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media.

Propagation of Lorentz–Gaussian Beams in Strongly Nonlocal Nonlinear Media

In this paper the propagation of Lorentz–Gaussian beams in strongly nonlinear nonlocal media is investigated by the ABCD matrix method. For this purpose, an expression for field distribution during propagation is derived and based on it, the propagation of Lorentz–Gaussian beams is simulated in this media. Then, the evolutions of beam width and curvature radius during propagation are discussed.

Small-scale self-focusing of divergent beam in nonlinear media with loss

Bespalov-Talanov theory on small-scale self-focusing is extended to include medium loss for a divergent beam. Gain spectrum of small-scale perturbation is presented in integral form, and based on the derived equations we find that the cutoff spatial frequency for perturbation keeps a constant value. The larger the medium loss is, the smaller the fastest growing frequency and the maximum gain of perturbation with defined propagation distance are. For a given medium loss the maximum gain of perturbation becomes larger, while the fastest growing frequency becomes smaller as the propagation distance becomes longer. Furthermore, physical explanations for the appearance of these features are given.

An overview on nonlinear porous flow in low permeability porous media

This paper gives an overview on nonlinear porous flow in low permeability porous media, reveals the microscopic mechanisms of flows, and clarifies properties of porous flow fluids. It shows that, deviating from Darcy＇s linear law, the porous flow characteristics obey a nonlinear law in a low-permeability porous medium, and the viscosity of the porous flow fluid and the permeability values of water and oil are not constants. Based on these characters, a new porous flow model, which can better describe low permeability reservoir~ is established. This model can describe various patterns of porous flow, as Darcy＇s linear law does. All the parameters involved in the model, having definite physical meanings, can be obtained directly from the experiments.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF TWO-PHASE FLUID NONLINEAR FLOW IN LOW-PERMEABILITY POROUS MEDIA WITH APPLICATIONS

A mathematical model of two-phase fluid nonlinear flow in the direction of normal of ellipse through low-permeability porous media was established according to a nonlinear flow law expressed in a continuous function with three parameters, a mass conservation law and a concept of turbulent ellipses. A solution to the model was obtained by using a finite difference method and an extrapolation method. Formulas of calculating development index not only before but also after water breaks through an oil well in the condition of two-phase fluid nonlinear flow in the media were derived. An example was discussed. Water saturation distribution was presented. The moving law of drainage front was found. Laws of change of pressure difference with time were recognized. Results show that there is much difference of water saturation distribution between nonlinear flow and linear flow; that drainage front by water moves faster, water breaks through sooner and the index gets worse because of the nonlinear flow; and that dimensionless pressure difference gets larger at the same dimensionless time and difficulty of oil development becomes bigger by the nonlinear flow. Thus, it is necessary that influence of nonlinear flow on development indexes of the oil fields be taken into account. The results provide water-flooding development of the oilfields with scientific basis.

Coupled-generalized nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations solved by adaptive step-size methods in interaction picture

We extend two adaptive step-size methods for solving two-dimensional or multi-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schr ¨odinger equation(GNLSE): one is the conservation quantity error adaptive step-control method(RK4IP-CQE), and the other is the local error adaptive step-control method(RK4IP-LEM). The methods are developed in the vector form of fourthorder Runge–Kutta iterative scheme in the interaction picture by converting a vector equation in frequency domain. By simulating the supercontinuum generated from the high birefringence photonic crystal fiber, the calculation accuracies and the efficiencies of the two adaptive step-size methods are discussed. The simulation results show that the two methods have the same global average error, while RK4IP-LEM spends more time than RK4IP-CQE. The decrease of huge calculation time is due to the differences in the convergences of the relative photon number error and the approximated local error between these two adaptive step-size algorithms.

Strength criterion of porous media: Application of homogenization techniques

The present paper aims at giving some general ideas concerning the micromechanical approach of the strength of a porous material. It is shown that its determination theoretically amounts to solving a nonlinear boundary value problem defined on a representative elementary volume(REV). The principle of nonlinear homogenization is illustrated based on the case of a solid phase having a Green’s strength criterion. An original refinement of the so-called secant method(based on two reference strains) is also provided. The paper also describes the main feature of the Gurson’s model which implements the principle of limit analysis on a conceptual model of hollow sphere. The last part of the paper gives some ideas concerning poromechanical couplings.

VTI介质中非线性对地震波频率和频宽变化的约束

采用改进型FCT有限差分法分别模拟各向同性、具有垂直对称轴的横向各向同性（VTI）以及非线性VTI介质中地震波场,随后采用小波分析探讨VTI介质中非线性对地震波频率和频宽变化的约束.数值模拟及分析结果表明：介质各向异性会引发地震记录中各波型的能量随炮检距的变化,而介质各向异性与非线性的耦合作用则会进一步加剧这种变化.在遵守能量守恒原理的前提下,介质的非线性会引发地震波场中各波型间能量的再分配.同时还会引发地震波速度的波动,且随着入射角的增大,波动幅度变小.这些现象在频率域内的响应表现为主频和频宽的降低或增大、地震记录中与各波型相对应的瞬时主频和频宽峰值出现时刻的偏移以及它们随炮检距变化而表现出的幅值波动.在本文给定的弱非线性介质中（非线性炽较薄且远离震源）,在震源能量较低的情况下,介质的非线性效应会造成地震波瞬时主频和频宽相对于线性介质情况分别为1/10～1/4和1/10～1/3左右的变化量.此外,随着入射波能量的下降,介质非线性所造成的地震波瞬时特征（振幅、主频、频宽）的变化量减小,但随着地震波在穿越非线性介质时路径的加长,非线性作用的累积效应使得波形畸变和频率分布特征的变化（尤其是频宽）等现象得以维持.
