The phenomenon of energy unidirectional transmission is numerically investigated by using a system of two coupled discrete nonlinear electrical transmission lines,each line of the network contains a finite number of cells and has different pass band structures,respectively.Using numerical simulations,we examine the frequency multiplication of the driving frequency and the lattice filtering effect in the line.These lead to the generation of energy unidirectional transmission.In the present work,energy is carried by the second harmonic wave in the pass band.In addition,we also study the dependence of the energy efficiency on the driving amplitude and other parameters of the model,such as the system size and the nonlinear coefficient,by calculation.Furthermore,after detailed numerical simulation,an experimental demonstration is realized.The experimental results agree with those in simulation qualitatively.
We constructed a coupled LC transmission line and studied the propagation of waves in it. We found asymmetric energy flow when we changed the driving conditions at the boundary. We analyzed this change and believe that it occurs because of the bandpass characteristics of the LC transmission line and high-order harmonic waves induced by nonlinearities. The LC transmission line could be used to simulate a microscopic crystal lattice. Therefore, we hope to observe thermal rectification in the system. We investigated the dependence of the system on different parameters, and then discussed the multi-frequency condition to aid in experimental verification.
This paper studies the hydrodynamic solitons propagating along a long trough with a defective bed.The slight deviation from the plane in the bed serves as the depth defects.Based on the perturbation method,it finds that the free surface wave is governed by a Korteweg-de Vries(KdV) equation with a defect term(KdVD).The numerical calculations show that,for a single-convexity localized defect,the propagating soliton is decelerated as it comes into the defect region,and it is accelerated back to its initial velocity as it leaves,which has a dipole effect.As a result, its displacement is lagged in contrast to the uninfluenced one.And an up-step defect makes the propagating soliton decelerate simply.The opposite influence will occur for a single-concavity localized defect and a down-step one.The defect-induced influence on propagating hydrodynamic solitons depends on the polarity of defects,which agrees with that on non-propagating ones.However,the involved dipole effect of the single localized defect is not displayed in non-propagating cases.
