Nonlinear generation of vorticity by surface waves

SV Filatov, VM Parfenyev, SS Vergeles… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
We demonstrate that waves excited on a fluid surface produce local surface rotation owing
to hydrodynamic nonlinearity. We examine theoretically the effect and obtain an explicit …

Oscillons, walking droplets, and skipping stones (an overview)

Conformal invariance in water-wave turbulence

M Noseda, PJ Cobelli - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We experimentally investigate the statistics of zero-height isolines in gravity wave turbulence
as physical candidates for conformal invariant curves. We present direct evidence that they …

[HTML][HTML] Wave-based liquid-interface metamaterials

N Francois, H Xia, H Punzmann, PW Fontana… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
The control of matter motion at liquid–gas interfaces opens an opportunity to create two-
dimensional materials with remotely tunable properties. In analogy with optical lattices used …

Structure of coherent vortices generated by the inverse cascade of two-dimensional turbulence in a finite box

IV Kolokolov, VV Lebedev - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
We discuss the structure and geometrical characteristics of coherent vortices appearing as a
result of the inverse cascade in two-dimensional turbulence in a finite box. We demonstrate …

[HTML][HTML] Generation and reversal of surface flows by propagating waves

H Punzmann, N Francois, H Xia, G Falkovich, M Shats - Nature Physics, 2014 - nature.com
The ability to send a wave to fetch an object from a distance would find a broad range of
applications. Quasi-standing Faraday waves on water create horizontal vortices,, yet it is not …

Coherent vortex versus chaotic state in two-dimensional turbulence

AN Doludenko, SV Fortova, IV Kolokolov, VV Lebedev - Annals of Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
We examine analytically and numerically the state of a two-dimensional fluid in a finite box
appearing as a result of the inverse cascade supported by a permanent pumping. We argue …

Surface waves control bacterial attachment and formation of biofilms in thin layers

SH Hong, JB Gorce, H Punzmann, N Francois… - Science …, 2020 - science.org
Formation of bacterial biofilms on solid surfaces within a fluid starts when bacteria attach to
the substrate. Understanding environmental factors affecting the attachment and the early …
