We consider the canonical problem of an array of rods, which act as resonators, placed on an elastic substrate; the substrate being either a thin elastic plate or an elastic half-space. In both cases the flexural plate, or Rayleigh surface,…

We describe the theory and present numerical evidence for a new type of nonlinear resonant interaction between gravity waves on the surface of deep water. The resonance constitutes a generalisation of the usual 'exact' resonance as we show…
Water waves present both opportunities and hazards, which demand precise control to effectively exploit their energy and mitigate their destructive effects. Leveraging the unique propagation characteristic of negative refraction enables…
Gravitational-wave now became one of the important observational methods for studying the Universe since its first detection. However, the ground-based observatories have an inherent barrier to their detection frequency band due to the…
We study theoretically and experimentally how to reduce the backscattering of water waves in a channel with multiple turns. We show that it is not only possible to cancel backscattering but also to achieve a remarkable transmission in such…
We consider wave propagation along fluid-loaded structures which take the form of an elastic plate augmented by an array of resonators forming a metasurface, that is, a surface structured with sub-wavelength resonators. Such surfaces have…
Pedal wavemakers that generate surface gravity waves through bed orbital motion have been shown to produce particle-excursion patterns that mimic deep-water wave behaviour but in finite-depth channels. In this article, we report that…
