In order to determine the steady-state subcritical gravity-capillary waves that are produced by potential flow past a wave-making body, it is typically necessary to impose a radiation condition that allows for capillary waves upstream, but…
Gravito-capillary waves at free-surfaces are ubiquitous in several natural and industrial processes involving quiescent liquid pools bounded by cylindrical walls. These waves emanate from the relaxation of initial interface distortions,…
The motion of a gas-liquid interface along a solid wall is influenced by the capillary forces resulting from the interface's shape and its interaction with the solid, where it forms a dynamic contact angle. Capillary models play a…
