Parametrically excited standing waves are observed on a cylindrical fluid filament. These are the cylindrical analog of Faraday instability in a flat surface or spherical droplet. Using the Floquet technique, linear stability analysis has…
We report novel superlattice wave patterns at the interface of a fluid layer driven vertically. These patterns are described most naturally in terms of two interacting hexagonal sublattices. Two frequency forcing at very large aspect ratio…
We numerically investigate the sensitivity of the scattered wave field to perturbations in the shape of a scattering body illuminated by an incident plane wave. This study is motivated by recent work on the inverse problem of reconstructing…

An isotropic elastic half space is prestrained so that two of the principal axes of strain lie in the bounding plane, which itself remains free of traction. The material is subject to an isotropic constraint of arbitrary nature. A surface…
Spiral waves are observed in many natural phenomena. They have been extensively represented by the mathematical FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model [Barkley et al., Phys. Rev. A 42, 2489 (1990)] of excitable media. In incompressible fluid…
While many geological and geophysical processes such as the melting of icecaps, the magnetic expression of bodies emplaced in the Earth's crust, or the surface displacement remaining after large earthquakes are spatially localized, many of…

Disk accretion at high rate onto a white dwarf or a neutron star has been suggested to result in the formation of a spreading layer (SL) - a belt-like structure on the object's surface, in which the accreted matter steadily spreads in the…
A theoretical model to explain the scattering process of wave attenuation in a marginal ice zone is developed. Many field observations offer wave energy decay in the form of exponential function with distance, and this is justified through…
In this paper, we study two-dimensional steady solitary gravity waves propagating along the surface of a fluid of finite depth. In particular, we can deal with general vorticity distributions and overhanging wave profiles. By conformal…
When a free Fermi gas on a lattice is subject to the action of a linear potential it does not drift away, as one would naively expect, but it remains spatially localized. Here we revisit this phenomenon, known as Stark localization, within…
In this paper we analyze the effect of a combined pure homogeneous strain and simple shear in a principal plane of the latter on the propagation of surface waves for an incompressible isotropic elastic half-space whose boundary is normal to…
The physical processes taking place at the surface and near the surface of solids is so rich and versatile that sometimes they seem to be the inexhaustible subject of fundamental research. In particular, since the discovery by Lord Rayleigh…
