Multi-shock solutions of random phase three-wave interactions

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Explicit solutions of the equations describing the space-time interaction of three random phase wave packets are presented. The solutions describe the collision and decay of previously known shock-like solutions. Stability of the solutions to a perturbation in initial conditions is also analyzed. For those solutions which are unstable, a closed form solution of the nonlinear evolution of the interaction is given.
