Droplet rebounds off a fluid bath at low Weber numbers
Elvis A. Agüero, Carlos A. Galeano-Rios, Clodoaldo Ragazzo +3
We present a method to simulate non-coalescing impacts and rebounds of droplets onto the free surface of a liquid bath, together with new experimental data, focused on the low-spee…
A classification of mode-1 internal solitary waves in a three-layer fluid
Ricardo Barros, Alex Doak, Wooyoung Choi +1
We explore the bifurcation structure of mode-1 solitary waves in a three-layer fluid confined between two rigid boundaries. A recent study (Lamb, J. Fluid Mech. 2023, 962, A17) pro…
Modelling two-dimensional droplet rebound off deep fluid baths
Katie A Phillips, Radu Cimpeanu, Paul A Milewski
In order for a droplet to rebound rather than coalesce with a liquid bath, a layer of gas must persist throughout the impact. This gas, typically an air layer acts as a lubricant t…
Nonlinear shallow-water waves with vertical odd viscosity
Alex Doak, Guido Baardink, Paul A Milewski +1
The breaking of detailed balance in fluids through Coriolis forces or odd-viscous stresses has profound effects on the dynamics of surface waves. Here we explore both weakly and st…
Time-dependent nonlinear gravity-capillary surface waves with viscous dissipation and wind forcing
Josh Shelton, Paul Milewski, Philippe H. Trinh
We develop a time-dependent conformal method to study the effect of viscosity on steep surface waves. When the effect of surface tension is included, numerical solutions are found…
