Ice thickness is an important variable for climate scientists and is still difficult to accurately determine from microwave radiometer measurements. There has been some success detecting the thickness of thin ice and with this in mind this…
Time modulation of the physical parameters offers interesting new possibilities for wave control. Examples include amplification of waves, harmonic generation and non-reciprocity, without resorting to non-linear mechanisms. Most of the…
The marginal ice zone is a highly dynamical region where sea ice and ocean waves interact. Large-scale sea ice models only compute domain-averaged responses. As the majority of the marginal ice zone consists of mobile ice floes surrounded…
We have studied the dependence of spin wave dispersion on the characteristics of the mesh used in a finite element micromagnetic simulation. It is shown that the dispersion curve has a cut off at a frequency which is analytically…
We have preformed experiments on a liquid curtain falling from a horizontal, wetted, tube and lateraly constrained by two vertical wires. The fluid motion nearly reduces to a free-fall, with a very low detachment velocity below the tube.…
Viscous linear surface waves are studied at arbitrary wavelength, layer thickness, viscosity and surface tension. We find that in shallow enough fluids no surface waves can propagate. This layer thickness is determined for some fluids,…
An experiment on the propagation of flexural-gravity waves was performed in the HSVA ice tank. Physical characteristics of the water-ice system were measured in different locations in the tank during the tests, with a number of sensors…
The marginal ice zone is the dynamic interface between the open ocean and consolidated inner pack ice. Surface gravity waves regulate marginal ice zone extent and properties, and, hence, fluxes between the atmosphere and ocean, and ice…
In the study of ocean wave impact on structures, one often uses Froude scaling since the dominant force is gravity. However the presence of trapped or entrained air in the water can significantly modify wave impacts. When air is entrained…
The transport of sea ice over the polar oceans plays an important role in climate. This transport is driven predominantly by turbulent winds, leading to stochastic motion of ice floes. Observed diffusivities and velocity distributions of…
Disorder is more the rule than the exception in natural and synthetic materials. Nonetheless, wave propagation within inhomogeneously disordered materials has received scant attention. We combine microwave experiments and theory to find the…
Two mechanisms of anomalous attenuation of probe waves in the experiments of ionosphere modification are discussed in the paper. The first mechanism is the well-known conversion of ordinary wave into plasma waves due to scattering from…
This article explores how a submerged elastic plate, clamped at one edge, interacts with water waves. Submerged elastic plates have been considered as potentially effective design elements in the development of wave energy harvesters but…

We analyse waves that propagate along the interface between a dielectric half-space and a half-space filled with a Lorentz material. We show that the corresponding interface condition leads to a generalisation of the classical Leontovich…
Elastic wave propagation provides a noninvasive way to probe granular materials. The discrete element method using particle configuration as input, allows a micromechanical interpretation on the acoustic response of a given granular system.…
An approximate theory is presented describing the propagation of the ice-water front that develops in droplets of water that are deposited on a planar surface at a temperature below the melting point of ice. A calculation based on this…
Sea ice attenuates waves propagating from the open ocean. Here we model the evolution of energetic unidirectional random waves in the marginal ice zone with a nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation, with a frequency dependent dissipative term…

In unbounded media, the acoustic attenuation as function of frequency is related to the frequency-dependent sound velocity (dispersion) via Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations. These relations are fundamentally important for better…
