Hysteretic wave drag in shallow water
GP Benham, R Bendimerad, M Benzaquen +1
During motion from deep to shallow water, multiple equilibria may emerge, each with identical drag - a phenomenon that can be explained by a localised amplification of the wave dra…
Bouncing, chasing or pausing: asymmetric collisions of active droplets
Kevin Lippera, Michael Benzaquen, Sebastien Michelin
Chemically-active droplets exhibit complex avoiding trajectories. While heterogeneity is inevitable in active matter experiments, it is mostly overlooked in their modelling. Exploi…
Effect of a weak current on wind-generated waves in the wrinkle regime
C. Nove-Josserand, S. Perrard, A. Lozano-Duran +3
We investigate numerically the influence of a weak current on wind-generated surface deformations for wind velocity below the onset of regular waves. In that regime, the liquid sur…
Wave drag on asymmetric bodies
GP Benham, JP Boucher, R Labbe +2
An asymmetric body with a sharp leading edge and a rounded trailing edge produces a smaller wave disturbance moving forwards than backwards, and this is reflected in the wave drag…
Turbulent windprint on a liquid surface
Stéphane Perrard, Adrián Lozano-Durán, Marc Rabaud +2
We investigate the effect of a light turbulent wind on a liquid surface, below the onset of wave generation. In that regime, the liquid surface is populated by small disorganised d…
Thin or bulky: optimal aspect ratios for ship hulls
Jean-Philippe Boucher, Romain Labbé, Christophe Clanet +1
Empirical data reveals a broad variety of hull shapes among the different ship categories. We present a minimal theoretical approach to address the problem of ship hull optimisatio…
