We consider the nonlinear problem of steady gravity-driven waves on the free surface of a two-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid (say, water). The flow is assumed to be unidirectional of finite depth and the water motion is…

Capillary waves are a classical free-surface phenomenon in fluid mechanics, yet their behavior in chiral fluids remains largely unexplored. We show that odd viscosity breaks the reciprocity of capillary waves. Using linear theory together…
