We initiate the study of gravitational-wave lensing in the wave-optics regime within modified gravity. We consider a phenomenological setup in which the gravitational-wave amplitude obeys a curvature-coupled propagation equation. This…
We consider a two-dimensional, incompressible, inviscid fluid with variable density, subject to the action of gravity. Assuming a stable equilibrium density profile, we adopt the so-called Boussinesq approximation, which neglects density…
A major limitation of the weakly compressible approaches to simulate incompressible flows is the appearance of artificial acoustic waves that introduce a large mass conservation error and lead to spurious oscillations in the force…
The flow field of a bluff body, a circular disk, that moves horizontally in a stratified environment is studied using large eddy simulations (LES). Five levels of stratification (body Froude numbers of Fr = 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 5) are…

The linear theory for rotating compressible convection in a plane layer geometry is presented for the astrophysically-relevant case of low Prandtl number gases. When the rotation rate of the system is large, the flow remains geostrophically…
We consider the stochastic background of gravity waves produced by first-order cosmological phase transitions from two types of sources: colliding bubbles and hydrodynamic turbulence. First we discuss the fluid mechanics of relativistic…
We investigate theoretically the onset of capillary-gravity waves created by a small object moving at the water-air interface. It is well established that, for straight uniform motion, no steady waves appear at velocities below the minimum…
According to several authors, gravity might be a long-wavelength phenomenon emerging in some 'hydrodynamic limit' from the same physical, flat-space vacuum viewed as a form of superfluid medium. In this framework, light might propagate in…
In general relativity, it has been shown that the effective gravitational stress-energy tensor for short-wavelength metric perturbations acts just like that for a radiation fluid, and thus, in particular, cannot provide any effects that…
An inertia-gravity wave (IGW) propagating in a vertically sheared, rotating stratified fluid interacts with the pair of inertial levels that surround the critical level. An exact expression for the form of the IGW is derived here in the…
This study investigates nonlinear gravity waves in the compressible atmosphere from the Earth's surface to the deep atmosphere. These waves are effectively described by Grimshaw's dissipative modulation equations which provide the basis for…
Starting from the classical formulation of the weak turbulence theory in a density stratified fluid, we derive a simplified version of the kinetic equation of internal gravity wave turbulence. This equation allows us to uncover scaling laws…
The problem of reconstructing non-harmonic internal gravity wave packets generated by a source moving in a stratified ocean is considered. The uniform asymptotic form of the internal gravity waves field generated by a source moving above…
Here we show that there exist internal gravity waves that are inherently unstable, that is, they cannot exist in nature for a long time. The instability mechanism is a one-way (irreversible) harmonic-generation resonance that permanently…
