Meniscus oscillations at interfaces between liquids, solids, and air significantly impact fluid dynamics and control. While idealized models exist, experimental data on capillary-gravity wave scattering involving meniscus effects remain…
Recent experiments have revealed that the meniscus formed near a surface-piercing barrier can significantly alter the propagation and scattering of capillary-gravity surface waves, beyond what classic flat-surface models predict. In…

A laser pulse focused near the closed end of a glass capillary partially filled with water creates a vapor bubble and an associated pressure wave. The pressure wave travels through the liquid toward the meniscus where it is reflected,…

Free surfaces of liquids exhibit thermally excited (capillary) surface waves. We show that the surface roughness which results from capillary waves when a glassy material is cooled below the glass transition temperature can have a large…
The dynamics of saturated vapor between two intersecting walls is examined. It is shown that, if the angle $\phi$ between the walls is sufficiently small, the vapor becomes unstable, and spontaneous condensation occurs in the corner,…
We consider the influence of quenched noise upon interface dynamics in 2D and 3D capillary rise with rough walls by using phase-field approach, where the local conservation of mass in the bulk is explicitly included. In the 2D case the…
The propagation of a chemical wave in a narrow, cone-shaped glass capillary was investigated. When a chemical wave propagates from the wider end to the narrower end, it slows, stops, and then disappears. A phenomenological model that…
In this work, we extend the model of contact angles that we have previously developed for sessile drops on a wetted surface to the case of a meniscus in a capillary. The underlying physics of our model describe the intermolecular forces…
The effects of ultrasound on the dynamics of an air-water meniscus in a planar micro-geometry are investigated experimentally. The sonicated meniscus exhibits harmonic traveling waves or standing waves, the latter corresponding to a higher…
We show that capillary waves can exist at the the boundary between miscible co-flowing fluids. We unveil that the interplay between transient interfacial stresses and confinement drives the progressive transition from the well-known…
We report on an experimental investigation of the propagation of gravity-capillary waves in a narrow channel with a pinned contact line. By using Fourier Transform Profilometry (FTP) we measure the static curved meniscus as well as the…
Surface waves called meniscus waves often appear in the systems that are close to the capillary length scale. Since the meniscus shape determines the form of the meniscus waves, the resulting streaming circulation has a structure distinct…
Capillary waves are a classical free-surface phenomenon in fluid mechanics, yet their behavior in chiral fluids remains largely unexplored. We show that odd viscosity breaks the reciprocity of capillary waves. Using linear theory together…
We account for the presence of surface charges towards describing variations in the dynamic contact angle of an advancing liquid-gas meniscus. Starting from the thin-film based formalism, we present closed-form analytical expressions…
Many microfluidics devices, coating processes or diphasic flows involve the motion of a liquid meniscus on a wet wall. This motion induces a specific viscous force, that exhibits a non-linear dependency in the meniscus velocity. We propose…
The study of capillary wave scattering by a circular region with different interfacial properties from the rest of an otherwise homogeneous interface is motivated by experiments on wave attenuation at a monolayer covered air-water interface…
