Hydrodynamically engineered Indigenous arrows skip on water for waterfowl hunting

Junrong Zhang, Farrukh Kamoliddinov, Thomas Yang +6

Across the Northern Hemisphere, Indigenous hunters developed arrows capable of skipping across the water surface to strike waterfowl. Archaeological and ethnographic records reveal…

Stretching water between two grooves

Matteo Leonard, Dilip Maity, Nicolas Vandewalle +1

Controlling water motion on surfaces is critical for applications ranging from thermal management, passive water harvesting, to self-cleaning coatings. Yet stabilising continuous w…

Rayleigh-Plateau Instability on an angled and eccentric fiber: An alternative approach

Dilip Kumar Maity, Christopher Wagstaff, Sandip Dighe +1

This research explores the modulation of Rayleigh-Plateau instability by adjusting the orientation angle and eccentricity of a wire within a nozzle. We demonstrate that both the an…

Tuning body shape and stiffness to mitigate water-entry forces

Bart Boom, Tadd Truscott, Frank Fish +1

High-speed water entry of projectiles and diving systems induces high forces and jerk to the entering bodies due to the development of large hydrodynamic pressure. Previous researc…

Towards a general description of the cavitation threshold in acoustic systems

Gianmaria Viciconte, Paolo Guida, Tadd Truscott +1

Traditionally, the occurrence of cavitation has been related to the ratio between flow velocity and pressure gradient in the case of hydrodynamic cavitation, or some combination of…

On the Threshold of Drop Fragmentation under Impulsive Acceleration

Aditya Parik, Tadd Truscott, Som Dutta

Secondary fragmentation of an impulsively accelerated drop depends on fluid properties and velocity of the ambient. The critical Weber number , the minimum Webe…
