In this Letter we investigate the rupture instability of thin liquid films by means of a bifurcation analysis in the vicinity of the short-scale instability threshold. The rupture time estimate obtained in closed form as a function of the…
I consider the hydrodynamic stability of imploding gases as a model for inertial confinement fusion capsules, sonoluminescent bubbles and the gravitational collapse of astrophysical gases. For oblate modes under a homologous flow, a…

It is known that the wavelength of the ripples on icicles in nature is of centimeter-scale. Such study on morphological instability of ice-water interface during ice growth from flowing supercooled water film with one side being a free…
We study the gravity-driven flow of two fluid phases in a one-dimensional homogeneous porous column when history dependence of the pressure difference between the phases (capillary pressure) is taken into account. In the hyperbolic limit,…
We report on singular jets in a free-falling liquid tin droplet following nanosecond laser-pulse impact. Following impact, the droplet (with diameter $D_0=50$ or 70\,$\mu$m) undergoes rapid radial expansion and subsequent retraction,…

Hypersonic leading-edge separation is studied towards understanding the varying shock-related unsteadiness with freestream Reynolds number ($1.66 \times 10^5 \leq Re_D \leq 5.85 \times 10^5$) in the newly constructed hypersonic Ludwieg…
The buoyancy-induced parallel flow in a vertical cylindrical porous layer is analysed. A radial thermal gradient caused by a uniformly distributed heat source is assumed to induce the buoyant flow. The layer boundaries are modelled as…

This Letter presents the novel experimental observation of long and narrow jets shooting out in disconnecting large elongated bubbles. We investigate this phenomenon by carrying out experiments with various viscosities, surface tensions,…
We revisit the canonical Rayleigh-Taylor instability and investigate the case of a thin film of fluid upon the underside of an inclined plane. The presence of a natural flow along the plane competes with the conventional droplet forming…
Numerical studies of dimple and jet formation from a collapsing cavity often model the initial cavity shape as a truncated sphere, mimicking a bursting bubble. In this study, we present a minimal model containing only nonlinear inertial and…
We consider the unsteady thin-film dynamics of a long bubble of negligible viscosity that advances at a uniform speed in a cylindrical capillary tube. The bubble displaces a viscous, nonwetting fluid, creating a thin film between its…

We investigate the evolution of a light impurity particle in a Lorentz gas where the background atoms are in thermal equilibrium. As in the standard Lorentz gas, we assume that the particle is negligibly light in comparison with the…
In this Letter we consider long capillary-gravity waves described by a fully nonlinear weakly dispersive model. First, using the phase space analysis methods we describe all possible types of localized travelling waves. Then, we especially…
Hamiltonian trajectories are strictly time-reversible. Any time series of Hamiltonian coordinates {q} satisfying Hamilton's motion equations will likewise satisfy them when played "backwards", with the corresponding momenta changing signs :…
