Preferential orientation of slender elastic floaters in gravity waves
Wietze Herreman, Basile Dhote, Frederic Moisy
Slender floaters drifting in propagating gravity waves slowly rotate towards a preferential state of orientation with respect to the angle of incidence. This angular drift arises f…
Nonlinear synthetic Schlieren methods for free-surface topography measurement using telecentric imaging
Shimin Zhang, Frédéric Moisy, Wietze Herreman +1
Free-surface synthetic Schlieren (FS-SS) is a high-resolution, refraction-based optical technique for measuring the instantaneous elevation of a liquid interface. Under the assumpt…
Capillary effects on preferential orientation of floaters in gravity waves
Basile Dhote, Ewen Le Ster, Wietze Herreman +1
We study the influence of capillary effects on the motion of thin elastic plates denser than water drifting in propagating surface gravity waves. Such floaters experience a mean an…
Flexible floaters align with the direction of wave propagation
Basile Dhote, Frederic Moisy, Wietze Herreman
We investigate the slow, second order motion of thin flexible floating strips drifting in surface gravity waves. We introduce a diffractionless model (Froude-Krylov approximation)…
Stability theory for metal pad roll with consideration of viscous and magnetic damping
Pranav Hegde, Wietze Herreman, Gerrit Maik Horstmann
We present a new theoretical model for the analytical prediction of the metal pad roll instability in idealised aluminium reduction cells consisting of two stably stratified liquid…
Preferential orientation of small floaters drifting in water waves
W. Herreman, B. Dhote, L. Danion +1
Elongated floaters drifting in propagating water waves slowly rotate towards a preferential orientation with respect to the direction of incidence. In this article, we study this p…
