The viscous fingering instability, which forms when a less-viscous fluid invades a more-viscous one within a confined geometry, is an iconic system for studying pattern formation. For both miscible and immiscible fluid pairs the growth…
Propagation of surface waves on a background shear flow with constant vorticity is studied and compared against the case when the background flow is uniform in depth. For a shear flow with the linear vertical profile, the dispersion…

An interface between two media is topologically stable two-dimensional object where 3D-symmetry breaks which allows for existence of many exotic excitations. A direct way to explore surface excitations is to investigate their interaction…
Wave interaction theory can be used as a tool to understand and predict instability in a variety of homogeneous and stratified shear flows. It is however, most often limited to piecewise-linear profiles of the shear layer background…

The propagation of surface water waves interacting with a current and an uneven bottom is studied. Such a situation is typical for ocean waves where the winds generate currents in the top layer of the ocean. The role of the bottom…
Using a dynamic Surface Force Apparatus, we demonstrate that the notion of slip length used to describe the boundary flow of simple liquids, is not appropriate for viscoelastic liquids. Rather, the appropriate description lies in the…
Travelling waves of densities of binary fluid mixtures are investigated near a critical point. The free energy is considered in a non-local form taking account of the density gradients. The equations of motions are applied to a universal…
