Orbiting, colliding and merging droplets on a soap film: toward gravitational analogues

Jean-Paul Martischang, Benjamin Reichert, Germain Rousseaux +2

Modern telescopes provide breathtaking images of nebulae, clouds and galaxies shaped by gravity-driven interactions between complex bodies. While such structures are prevalent on a…

Classical Hydrodynamics for Analogue Spacetimes: Open Channel Flows and Thin Films

Germain Rousseaux, Hamid Kellay

Here we review the way to build analogue spacetimes in open channel flows by looking at the flow phase diagram and the corresponding analogue experiments performed during the last…

The naval battle of Actium and the myth of the ship-holder: the effect of bathymetry

Johan Fourdrinoy, Clément Caplier, Yann Devaux +8

A myth of antiquity is explained with modern science in the context of an ancient naval battle. A legend was invoked by the admiral Pliny the Elder to explain the defeat of Antony…

Scattering of co-current surface waves on an analogue black hole

Léo-Paul Euvé, Scott Robertson, Nicolas James +2

We report on what is to our knowledge the first scattering experiment of surface waves on an accelerating transcritical flow, which in the Analogue Gravity context is described by…

Viscous dissipation of surface waves and its relevance to analogue gravity experiments

Scott Robertson, Germain Rousseaux

We consider dissipation of surface waves on fluids, with a view to its effects on analogue gravity experiments. We begin by reviewing some general properties of wave dissipation, b…

Analogue Wormholes and Black Hole LASER Effect in Hydrodynamics

Cédric Peloquin, Léo-Paul Euvé, Thomas Philbin +1

We numerically study water wave packets on a spatially varying counter-current in the presence of surface tension. Depending on the details of the velocity profile, we show that tr…
