Xl. Wang et Rj. Wei, OSCILLATORY PATTERNS COMPOSED OF THE PARAMETRICALLY EXCITED SURFACE-WAVE SOLITONS, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 57(2), 1998, pp. 2405-2410
Multiple solitons in a water trough resonator are observed to organize
into some ordered and symmetrical one-dimensional patterns that can e
xhibit spatiotemporal oscillations at certain excitations of the syste
m. Experimental details including the ordering rules for the generatio
ns of stable multisoliton chains are described, and the phenomena are
numerically simulated with the parametrically driven, damped nonlinear
Schrodinger equation.
