As the winds blow across the vast oceans they create a symphony of waves, whose pitch may range from ripples to rogues. Eventually all waves will break, crashing wildly on the shore or fading away ...

Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary waves. Studied since antiquity, they have garnered considerable interest in modern science due to their ability ...

Capillary waves represent the intrinsic, thermally induced fluctuations at the boundary between liquid and vapour phases. These microscopic undulations, which are influenced by both surface tension ...

You'll never look at a drop of water the same way. By measuring a water droplet with a resolution comparable with the scale of a single atom, scientists have determined that the droplet interface ...

THE extensive measurements 1 on the retardation of evaporation by monolayers conducted during the past decade at Columbia University have been restricted to static conditions to eliminate the erratic ...

Steady two-dimensional surface capillary–gravity waves in irrotational motion are considered on constant depth. By exploiting the holomorphic properties in the physical plane and introducing some ...
