We present and analyze a theoretical model for the dynamics and interactions of "capillary surfers," which are millimetric objects that self-propel while floating at the interface of a vibrating fluid bath. In our companion paper [1], we…
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…
We show that the coupled two-fluid gravitating system (e.g. stiff matter and 'vacuum energy') could trap nonlinear gravitational waves (e.g. Einstein-Rosen waves). The gravitational wave amplitude varies harmonically in time transferring…
