Ship waves, the complex patterns generated as vessels displace water, remain a subject of significant scientific and engineering interest. Traditionally described by Kelvin’s theory of ship wakes, ...

Granular systems, comprising ensembles of discrete particles, exhibit strikingly rich dynamics when subjected to mechanical disturbances. In these systems, strong nonlinear interactions give rise to ...

Deep-water wave groups are known to be unstable and become rogue. Such unstable wave groups propagate independently regardless of interference. Results seem to support the concept of an unperturbed ...

In a new collaborative study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a team of researchers from the University of Washington, SUNY at Buffalo and the University of New ...

Researchers at the University of Queensland have made a microscopic ‘ocean’ on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The miniature wave machine could lead to a number of key ...
