A windy sea surface with Stokes waves
Nikhil Yewale, Anil Kumar, Vinod Kadari +1
Predicting the transition of wind-forced, gravito-capillary surface waves from smooth to corrugated states remains a longstanding problem in nonlinear wave mechanics. Solving drive…

Waves in a shear flow: transition between the KH, Holmboe and Miles instability
Anil Kumar, S. Ravichandran, Ratul Dasgupta
We investigate shear driven wave generation at the interface between two immiscible fluids, using an exponential velocity profile with a sharp density interface representing stable…
