The motion of a container filled with fluid perturbs the free surface and may result in spilling. In practice, most of the energy is localized in the modes of lowest frequencies (the gravest modes), and sloshing can be predicted once the…

In a magnetic fluid parametrically driven surface waves can be excited by an external oscillating magnetic field. A static magnetic field changes the restoring forces and damping coefficients of the various surface waves. This property…
This study analyzed the scar-like localization in the time-average of a timeevolving wavepacket on the desymmetrized stadium billiard. When a wavepacket is launched along the orbits, it emerges on classical unstable periodic orbits as a…
