The marginal ice zone is modelled as a region composed of thin floating elastic plates separated by open water gaps, with randomly chosen lengths. The impact of the marginal ice zone on incoming waves is determined using a reconstruction of the dominant wavelength and attenuation rate, and a transferred amplitude (measuring the change in amplitude at the ice edge), and these quantities are studied for different ice concentrations (the areal fraction of ice cover to open water). For all concentrations, the model is shown to predict a deterministic limit for ice covers composed of floes and gaps much smaller than wavelengths, where the wave fields are independent of the particular realisation of the ice cover and insensitive to further reduction in floe and gap lengths (called the small floe–gap limit). The obtained small floe–gap limit is replicated by using a periodic ice cover that supports damped Bloch waves. The model predicts that as concentration decreases, the wavelength increases and the transferred amplitude and attenuation rate decrease, with attenuation rate scaling with ice concentration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49367,"journal":{"name":"Wave Motion","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 103655"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145365421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using an empirical Holstein-SSH DNA lattice model combined with the quasi-discrete approximation, we have shown that the dynamics of charge transport can be modeled by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Analytical study of the modulational instability (MI) phenomenon, based on this equation, revealed that when the nearest-neighbor transfer integral is high, the system becomes more stable, thus offering better charge transport. Furthermore, numerical analysis of MI revealed that our system admits breather solutions, indicating that the stability/instability dynamics can be influenced by the wave number. Subsequently, we derive the breather-type solution and numerically plot its spatio-temporal evolution. One interesting result of this study is that during charge transport in DNA, we find that high values of nearest-neighbor transfer integral could indicate that solitons are more resistant to perturbations or disorder, allowing localized waves to maintain their shape and energy over longer distances.

The Whitham equation is well known in the literature as a relatively simple model that nevertheless captures rich nonlinear phenomena such as short waves and breaking. Periodic traveling waves are computed numerically, and their stability is analyzed by evaluating the spectrum via the Fourier–Floquet–Hill method. We show that for small values of the flexural rigidity coefficient, small-amplitude periodic traveling waves are unstable; however, as the amplitude increases beyond a critical threshold, we first observe stabilization (not complete); subsequently, the spectrum bifurcates, and the traveling waves become increasingly unstable. In contrast, when the flexural rigidity coefficient is large, periodic traveling waves remain stable for all amplitudes.

First, we show that unmodified (high-symmetry) gyroid lattices exhibit multiple degeneracies in their dispersion relations, preventing bandgap formation. To lift these degeneracies, we implement two asymmetry strategies: (1) Material asymmetry, by assigning different stiffness or density to distinct regions of the unit cell; and (2) Geometric asymmetry, by scaling the lattice unequally along coordinate axes to create anisotropic “gyroid-derived” shapes. Bloch–Floquet analysis of the infinite periodic lattices reveals that both approaches open new bandgaps. Material-asymmetric gyroids develop polarized-directional bandgaps that block one shear polarization in specific directions, and for moderate stiffness or density contrast, produce a “fluid-like” regime in which both shear polarizations (<span><math><mi>S</mi></math></span> <span><math><msub><mrow></mrow><mrow><mn>1</mn></mrow></msub></math></span> and <span><math><mi>S</mi></math></span> <span><math><msub><mrow></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msub></math></span>) are strongly attenuated, allowing only longitudinal (<span><math><mi>P</mi></math></span>) waves.
