Abstract

An analytic and numerical investigation is made of the self-focusing of a wave beam allowing for the inertia of the nonlinear response of the medium described by an acoustic type of equation. Some characteristics of the dynamics of self-interaction of the wave fields are analyzed in the paraxial optics approximation and the self-similar structures and space-time instability of a plane wave are considered. The stages of instability buildup, structure formation, and the establishment of a steady state are studied numerically.
