When impacted by a rigid object, a thin elastic membrane with negligible bending rigidity floating on a liquid pool deforms. Two axisymmetric waves radiating from the impact point propagate. In the first place, a longitudinal wave front --…

We consider the two-dimensional capillary water waves with nonzero constant vorticity in infinite depth. We first derive the Babenko equation that describes the profile of the solitary wave. When the velocity $c$ is close to a critical…

The resonance mechanism in the initial stage of wind-wave generation proposed by Phillips (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 2, 1957, 417$\unicode{x2013}$445) is a foundation of wind-wave generation theory, but a precise theoretical quantification of…
