Many vesicles have a spherical resting shape and exposure to fluid flows induces an exchange between sub-optical area and visible (systematic) deformation, while the total area is conserved. The dynamics which controls the exchange between…
We investigate the dynamics of inertia-gravity wave modes in 3D rotating stratified fluids. We start by deriving a reduced PDE, the GGG model, consisting of only wave-mode interactions. In principle, comparing this model to the full…

At a transition in a wave-guiding structure, part of the incident energy is transmitted and part of the energy is reflected. When the waveguide has non-trivial topological properties, however, the transition may occur with no…

By "surface waves" one means a special kind of waves that propagate at the interface between two different media. There exists a large variety of such waves, which are interesting on their own, and sometimes have also practical importance…
