A new effect is described by which primordial gravity waves leave a permanent signature in the large scale structure of the Universe. The effect occurs at second order in perturbation theory and is sensitive to the order in which…

It is now known that capillary waves driven upon a fluid interface by high frequency ($>1$~MHz) ultrasound exhibit capillary wave turbulence: the appearance of waves with phase and wavelength far removed from the excitation signal that…
The surface free energy, or surface tension, of a liquid interface gives rise to a pressure jump when the interface is curved. Here we show that a similar capillary pressure arises at the interface of soft solids. We present experimental…

In this paper we consider the steady water wave problem for waves that possess a merely $L_r-$integrable vorticity, with $r\in(1,\infty)$ being arbitrary. We first establish the equivalence of the three formulations--the velocity…
Capillary waves are perhaps the simplest example to consider for an introduction to wave turbulence. Since the first paper by Zakharov and Filonenko (1967), capillary wave turbulence has been the subject of many studies but a didactic…
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…

In this study we consider the problem of the interface motion under the capillary-gravity and an external electric forces. The infinitely deep fluid layer is assumed to be viscous, perfectly conducting and the flow to be incompressible. The…
A tensor-type cosmological perturbation, defined as a transverse and traceless spatial fluctuation, is often interpreted as the gravitational waves. While decoupled from the scalar-type perturbations in linear order, the tensor…
