Achieving Optimal Locomotion using Self-Generated Waves
D. O'Donovan, M. D. Bustamante, O. Devauchelle +1
An oscillating body floating at the water surface produces a wave-field of self-generated waves. When the oscillation induces a difference in fore-aft wave amplitude squared, these…

Bounds on the Spreading Radius in Droplet Impact: The Viscous Case
Lennon à Náraigh, Miguel D. Bustamante
We consider the problem of droplet impact and droplet spreading on a smooth surface in the case of a viscous Newtonian fluid. We revisit the concept of the rim-lamella model, in wh…
