Internal gravity waves play a primary role in geophysical fluids: they contribute significantly to mixing in the ocean and they redistribute energy and momentum in the middle atmosphere. Until recently, most studies were focused on plane…
For the past two hundred years, parametric instabilities have been studied in various physical systems, such as fluids, mechanical devices and even inflationary cosmology. It was not until a few decades ago that this subharmonic unstable…
We study experimentally the onset of Faraday waves near the endwalls of rectangular vessel containing two stably-stratified fluid layers, subject to horizontal oscillations. These subharmonic waves (SWs) are excited, because the horizontal…
A two-dimensional water wave system is examined consisting of two discrete incompressible fluid domains separated by a free common interface. In a geophysical context this is a model of an internal wave, formed at a pycnocline or…
We investigate the steady states and dynamical instabilities resulting from ``particles'' depositing on (fusion) and pinching off (fission) a fluid membrane. These particles could be either small lipid vesicles or isolated proteins. In the…
A new kinetic instability which results in formation of charge density waves is proposed. The instability is of a purely classical nature. A spatial period of arising space-charge and field configuration is inversely proportional to…
We investigate the laminar flow of two-fluid mixtures inside a simple network of inter-connected tubes. The fluid system is comprised of two miscible Newtonian fluids of different viscosity which do not mix and remain as nearly distinct…
The processes in nonequilibrium dissipative media caused by coherent structure formation and lead to the complicated dynamics are of interest for nonlinear physics. Here we consider a model of the flow of interacting electronics patterns.…
Wavy pattern of ice with a specific wavelength occurs during ice growth from a thin layer of undercooled water flowing down the surface of icicles or inclined plane. In the preceding paper [K. Ueno, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 68}, 021603 (2003)], we…

Shear layer instability at the free surface of a water jet is studied. The accompanying video shows experimental data recorded using measurement methods such as Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) and Particle Image Velocity (PIV).…
We derive a generic formalism for studying the energy conversion processes in bounded metals. Using this formalism we show that in the collision-less limit the Fermi sea of metals should experience an instability against surface plasma…
A hydrophilic floating sphere that is denser than water drifts to an amplitude maximum (antinode) of a surface standing wave. A few identical floaters therefore organize into antinode clusters. However, beyond a transitional value of the…
We investigate the influence of rotation on the onset and saturation of the Faraday instability in a vertically oscillating two-layer miscible fluid using a theoretical model and direct numerical simulations (DNS). Our analytical approach…
We derive an equation that governs the spatiotemporal dynamics of small amplitude alternans in paced cardiac tissue. We show that a pattern-forming linear instability leads to the spontaneous formation of stationary or traveling waves whose…
Nature is intrinsically heterogeneous, and remarkable phenomena can only be observed in the presence of intrinsically nonlinear heterogeneities. Spontaneous pattern formation in nature has fascinated humankind for centuries, and the…
We investigate the conditions for the emergence of wave instabilities in a vacuum cavity delimited by cylindrical metallic walls under rotation. It is shown that for a small vacuum gap and for an angular velocity exceeding a certain…

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems are important because they may induce serious damage to structures. In some FSI problems, the interaction mechanism is strongly dependent on the wave propagation across the solid-fluid interface.…
We study the self-organization of spherical particles in an oscillating flow through experiments inside an oscillating box. The interactions between the particles and the time-averaged (steady streaming) flow lead to the formation of either…
