Abstract :
This paper studies the propagation of femtosecond pulses in a Kerr medium both experimentally and numerically. This work also investigates the similarities between the propagation of light pulses in a Kerr medium and the evolution of fluid dynamical systems, and proposes the use of an optical system to simulate fluid dynamics.
