contents By numerically solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we theoretically study the nonlinear propagation dynamics and self-healing properties of elliptical Airy beams (EABs) propagating in water under Kerr nonlinearity. Compared to linear propagation, EABs exhibit extended propagation distances and enhanced stability in nonlinear media. Furthermore, particular emphasis is placed on the impact of Kerr nonlinearity strength on the propagation and self-healing properties of EABs. By varying the input power, it is found that EABs within a moderate power range can propagate longer distances while maintaining higher intensity and exhibit improved robustness after being blocked, indicating better self-healing performance. Based on this analysis, we propose an optimal input power for EABs through a quantitative analysis of the impact of Kerr nonlinearity, enabling them to achieve the greatest propagation distance and maintain the highest stability. Our work provides a comprehensive theoretical understanding of the nonlinear propagation dynamics and self-healing properties of EABs, with their superior characteristics potentially applicable to long-distance laser transmission.
