Vortex formation around islands in random waves
Alex J. Vernon, Junyi Ye, Wenzhe Liu +2
Wave vortices are fundamental topological features of interference fields, occurring at nodal points where the wave amplitude vanishes. A distinct class of vortices can instead for…

Wave Vortices Around Oscillating Subwavelength Holes: Water-Wave Observation
Junyi Ye, Zheyi Li, Alexey Y. Nikitin +4
We consider a two-dimensional wave system containing a subwavelength hole, such as an aperture in an interface supporting surface electromagnetic or acoustic waves, or an island in…

Twisted multilayer moiré water waves topologically robust to disorder
Zhiyuan Che, Julian Schwab, Yi Zhang +6
Moiré patterns, stacking and twisting multilayer periodic lattices into superlattices, have become cornerstones of many physical systems from condensed matter to wave phenomena, b…
