We report an experimental study of the instability of a nearly-resonant Kelvin mode forced by precession in a cylindrical vessel. The instability is detected above a critical precession ratio via the appearance of peaks in the temporal…
To achieve its performance goals, SPARC plans to operate in equilibrium configurations with a strong elongation of $\kappa_\mathrm{areal}\sim1.75$, destabilizing the $n=0$ vertical instability. However, SPARC also features a relatively…
This paper proposes a novel design of liquid tank with built-in buoys for wave energy harvesting, named the 'sloshing wave energy converter (S-WEC)'. When the tank is oscillated by external loads (such as ocean waves), internal liquid…

Floquet topological phases emerge when systems are periodically driven out-of-equilibrium. They gained attention due to their external control, which allows to simulate a wide variety of static systems by just tuning the external field in…
Fluid discontinuities, such as shock fronts and vortex sheets, can reflect waves and become unstable to corrugation. Analytical calculations of these phenomena are tractable in the simplest cases only, while their numerical simulations are…
