We present data for the penetration of a variety of spheres, dropped from rest, into a level non-cohesive granular medium. We improve upon our earlier work [Uehara {\it et al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 194301 (2003)] in three regards.…
Scaling laws for the propulsive performance of rigid foils undergoing oscillatory heaving and pitching motions are presented. Water tunnel experiments on a nominally two-dimensional flow validate the scaling laws, with the scaled data for…
This paper is devoted to an interacting particle system that provides probabilistic interpretation of the wave equation on graphs. A Feynman-Kac-type formula is established, connecting the expectation of the process with the wave equation…
A long, smooth cylinder is dragged through a water surface to create a cavity with an initially cylindrical shape. This surface void then collapses due to the hydrostatic pressure, leading to a rapid and axisymmetric pinch-off in a single…
We investigate the impact of a free-falling water drop onto a granular layer. First, we constructed a phase diagram of crater shapes with two control parameters, impact speed and grain size. A low-speed impact makes a deeper cylindrical…

The Hele-Shaw experiment is performed with a circular invasion to study the scaling and dynamic behavior of the interface. We did not find any universal power law. The time exponent varies with the range of scale, as has been reported in…
