Harmonic Wave Systems: Partial Differential Equations of the Helmholtz Decomposition

Harmonic Wave Systems is the first textbook about the computational method of Decomposition in Invariant Structures (DIS) that generalizes the analytical methods of separation of variables, undetermined coefficients, asymptotic expansions, and series expansions. In recent years, there has been a boom in publications on propagation of nonlinear waves described by a fascinating list of partial differential equations (PDEs). The vast majority of wave problems are reducible to one-dimensional ones in propagation variables. However, a list of publications with two- and three-dimensional applications of the DIS method is brief.


The book offers a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the DIS method in two and three dimensions using the PDE approach to the Helmholtz decomposition that provides the most general background for mathematical modelling of harmonic waves in fluid dynamics, electrodynamics, heat transfer, and other numerous areas of science and engineering, which are dealing with propagation and interaction of N internal waves.
