We consider a two-dimensional, pure capillary drop of nearly-circular shape, having constant vorticity. We write the Craig-Sulem equations on the unit circle, then on the flat torus. We show their Hamiltonian structure and we then observe…

This work reveals that the dynamic response of a spherical cap bubble in contact with a rigid wall depends on the effective contact angle at the instant prior to collapse. This parameter allows us to discriminate between two regimes in…

Self-similarity has been the paradigmatic picture for the pinch-off of a drop. Here we will show through high-speed imaging and boundary integral simulations that the inverse problem, the pinch-off of an air bubble in water, is not…

We present the first large scale numerical simulation of three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection near onset, under free-free boundary conditions for a fluid of Prandtl number $\sigma=0.5$. We find that a spatiotemporally chaotic…

The interaction of 'walking droplets' and capillary waves in a weakly subcritical Faraday wave experiment has been studied as a hydrodynamic analog to Bohmian quantum mechanics (see "Hydrodynamic Quantum Analogs", J. Bush and A. Oza, Rep.…

We present a method to simulate non-coalescing impacts and rebounds of droplets onto the free surface of a liquid bath, together with new experimental data, focused on the low-speed impact of droplets. The method is derived from first…

We study numerically a succession of transitions in pipe Poiseuille flow that leads from simple travelling waves to waves with chaotic time-dependence. The waves at the origin of the bifurcation cascade possess a shift-reflect symmetry and…
