Breakup of water jets under gravity is a common-place phenomenon. The role of surface tension in the instability of water jets was recognized by Rayleigh and the theory propounded goes by the name of Plateau-Rayleigh theory. The necks and…
An incoming gravity wave being a stress wave is a surface with intrinsic curvature. When a light beam is parallel transported on this non-Euclidian surface it acquires an excess phase which accumulates with each curcuit. We calculate the…
Our understanding of both structure and dynamics of adsorbed liquids heavily relies on the capillary wave Hamiltonian, but a thorough test of this model is still lacking. Here we study the capillary wave fluctuations of a liquid film with…
A recent experiment showed that cylindrical segments of water filling a hydrophilic stripe on an otherwise hydrophobic surface display a capillary instability when their volume is increased beyond the critical volume at which their apparent…
We present the derivation of generic equations describing the long gravity waves in incompressible fluid with decaying effect. We show that in this theory the only restriction to the surface deviation is connected with the stability…
A localised overpressure translating at a uniform speed greater than a critical value acts at the interface between two deep fluid layers with different densities. We analyse the resulting wave patterns using an initial-value problem…
We report a laboratory investigation of weak turbulence of water surface waves in the gravity-capillary crossover. By using time-space resolved profilometry and a bicoherence analysis, we observe that the nonlinear processes involve 3-wave…
We consider the release from a point source of relatively heavy fluid into a porous saturated medium above an impermeable slope. We consider the case where the volume of the resulting gravity current increases with time like $t^\alpha$ and…
The dispersion relation for capillary waves at the boundary of two different Bose condensates is investigated using a trial wave-function approach applied to the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equations. The surface tension is expressed by the…
We report experimental measurements of density waves in granular materials flowing down in a capillary tube. The density wave regime occurs at intermediate flow rates between a low density free fall regime and a high compactness slower…
In this Letter we regard nonlinear gravity-capillary waves with parameter of nonlinearity being $\varepsilon \sim 0.1 \div 0.25$. For this nonlinearity time scale separation does not occur and kinetic wave equation does not hold. An energy…
We obtain two results of propagation for solutions to the gravity-capillary water wave system. First we show how oscillations and the spatial decay propagate at infinity; then we show a microlocal smoothing effect under the non-trapping…
We analyze the propagation of gravitational waves in a medium containing bounded subsystems ("molecules"), able to induce significant Macroscopic Gravity effects. We establish a precise constitutive relation between the average quadrupole…
The rate of water flow through hydrophobic nanocapillaries is greatly enhanced as compared to that expected from macroscopic hydrodynamics. This phenomenon is usually described in terms of a relatively large slip length, which is in turn…
We study the weakly non-linear development of shear-driven gravity waves, and investigate the mixing properties of the finite amplitude solutions. Calculations to date have been restricted to the linear theory, which predicts that gravity…
We consider the capillary-gravity water wave equation in two dimensions. We assume that the fluid is inviscid, incompressible, irrotational and the air density is zero. We construct an energy functional and prove a local wellposedness…
In this paper we prove global regularity for the full water waves system in 3 dimensions for small data, under the influence of both gravity and surface tension. This problem presents essential difficulties which were absent in all of the…
The statistical properties of a large number of weakly nonlinear waves can be described in the framework of the Weak Turbulence Theory. The theory is based on the hypothesis of an asymptotically large system. In experiments, the systems…
Triad resonances for gravity waves propagating in opposite direction with respect to uniform current are introduced. They are produced by multivalued and anisotropic dispersion and occur even in deep water. In contrast, existing literature…
We prove via explicitly constructed initial data that solutions to the gravity-capillary wave system in $\mathbb{R}^3$ representing a 2d air-water interface immediately fails to be $C^3$ with respect to the initial data if the initial data…
