Structured waves are ubiquitous for all areas of wave physics, both classical and quantum,
where the wavefields are inhomogeneous and cannot be approximated by a single plane …

In nature, turbulent flows exist that are neither simply 2D nor 3D but are forced towards one
state or the other by boundary conditions such as varying stratification. Here, we report the …

When particles are deposited at a fluid interface they tend to aggregate by capillary
attraction to minimize the overall potential energy of the system. In this work, we embed …

Fluctuation-induced forces are observed in numerous physical systems spanning from
quantum to macroscopic scale. However, there is as yet no experimental report of their …

Forced two-dimensional turbulence lives on the balance between the energy input and two
dissipative mechanisms, viscosity and linear friction, resulting in a double cascade of energy …

Faraday waves occur on a fluid being subject to vertical shaking. Although it is well known
that form and shape of the wave pattern depend on driving amplitude and frequency, only …

We study the inverse flux of waves in one of the simplest geophysical fluid dynamics models:
one-dimensional rotating shallow water equations. Based on direct numerical integration of …

When particles are deposited at a fluid interface they tend to aggregate by capillary
attraction to minimize the overall potential energy of the system. In this work, we embed …

The ability of a device to exploit the energy of a flow to generate thrust is the main feature of
passive propulsion. In a turbulent flow, such energy conversion is challenging due to the …

We report on the transport properties and orientational dynamics of ellipsoidal objects
advected by laboratory two-dimensional turbulence. It is found that ellipsoids of different …
