The response of a medium to a sudden localized perturbation (a "splash") will be explained for isotropic media within the framework of linear response theory. In this theory splashes result from the interference of the collective…
We observe the emergence of a distinct, elasticity-driven flow state in a yield-stress fluid in the absence of inertia. Numerical simulations show that this elasto-plastic turbulent state is characterized by a broad spectrum of fluctuations…
The Muskat problem, in its general setting, concerns the interface evolution between two incompressible fluids of different densities and viscosities in porous media. The interface motion is driven by gravity and capillarity forces, where…
Of concern is the motion of two fluids separated by a free interface in a porous medium, where the velocities are given by Darcy's law. We consider the case with and without phase transition. It is shown that the resulting models can be…
We consider the sloshing problem for an incompressible, inviscid, irrotational fluid in an open container, including effects due to surface tension on the free surface. We restrict ourselves to a constant contact angle and seek…
Exact solutions of a classical problem of a plane unsteady potential flow of an ideal incompressible fluid with a free boundary are presented. The fluid occupies a semi-infinite strip bounded by the free surface (from above) and (from the…
The process of interaction between nonlinear waves on a free surface of a nonconducting fluid in a strong tangential electric field is simulated numerically (effects of the force of gravity and capillarity are neglected). It is shown that…
This paper considers the existence and stability properties of two-dimensional solitary waves traversing an infinitely deep body of water. We assume that above the water is vacuum, and that the waves are acted upon by gravity with surface…
For ideal fluid flow with zero surface tension and gravity, it remains unknown whether local singularities on the free surface can develop in well-posed initial value problems with smooth initial data. This is so despite great advances over…
We consider the fluid interface problem given by two incompressible fluids with different densities evolving by Darcy's law. This scenario is known as the Muskat problem for fluids with the same viscosities, being in two dimensions…
