Free surface flow and solitary waves dynamics encapsulate a rich interplay of nonlinearity and dispersion, underlying phenomena observed in natural and engineered fluid systems. These studies focus on ...

Tiny, artificial earthquake-like waves generated by lasers may be the key to smaller, faster, and more efficient computer ...

A research team has demonstrated that hybrid surface waves called surface phonon-polaritons provide enhanced thermal conductivity in nanoscale membranes. These surface waves can aid in the thermal ...

HYDRODYNAMICS: The equation of motion -- The equation of continuity -- The wave equation for a progressive wave with a rigid profile traveling at constant phase speed -- Solution of the wave equation ...
