Subharmonic parametric instability in nearly brimful circular cylinders: a weakly nonlinear analysis

A Bongarzone, F Viola, S Camarri… - Journal of Fluid …, 2022 - cambridge.org
In labscale Faraday experiments, meniscus waves respond harmonically to small-amplitude
forcing without threshold, hence potentially cloaking the instability onset of parametric …

Jetting dynamics of viscous droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces

B Sarma, DN Basu, A Dalal - Langmuir, 2023 - ACS Publications
We investigated the dynamics of liquid jets engendered by the impact of droplets on a fractal
superhydrophobic surface. Depending on the impact conditions, jets emanate from the free …

Dimples, jets and self-similarity in nonlinear capillary waves

L Kayal, S Basak, R Dasgupta - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
Numerical studies of dimple and jet formation from a collapsing cavity often model the initial
cavity shape as a truncated sphere, mimicking a bursting bubble. In this study, we present a …

Focussing of concentric free-surface waves

L Kayal, V Sanjay, N Yewale, A Kumar… - Journal of Fluid …, 2025 - cambridge.org
Gravito–capillary waves at free surfaces are ubiquitous in several natural and industrial
processes involving quiescent liquid pools bounded by cylindrical walls. These waves …

Wave breaking and jet formation on axisymmetric surface gravity waves

ML McAllister, S Draycott, T Davey, Y Yang… - Journal of Fluid …, 2022 - cambridge.org
Axisymmetric standing waves occur across a wide range of free surface flows. When these
waves reach a critical height (steepness), wave breaking and jet formation occur. For …

Jet from a very large, axisymmetric, surface-gravity wave

L Kayal, R Dasgupta - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
We demonstrate that gravity acting alone at large length scales (compared to the capillary
length) can produce a jet from a sufficiently steep, axisymmetric surface deformation …

Standing waves and jets on a sessile, incompressible bubble

Y Dhote, A Kumar, L Kayal, PS Goswami… - Physics of …, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
We show numerically that large amplitude, shape deformations imposed on a spherical-cap,
incompressible, sessile gas bubble pinned on a rigid wall can produce a sharp, wall …

Surface and internal gravity waves on a viscous liquid layer: Initial-value problems

R Patibandla, S Basak, R Dasgupta, A Roy - International Journal of …, 2023 - Elsevier
We study a class of initial value problems (IVPs) involving perturbations on a density
stratified, quiescent, viscous liquid layer with a free-surface. The geometry is a two …

Physics of a strongly oscillating axisymmetric air-water interface with a fixed boundary condition

C Wang, M Gharib - Physical Review Fluids, 2022 - APS
In this work, we experimentally investigate the physics of a strongly oscillating, millimeter-
sized, axisymmetric air-water interface with a fixed contact line boundary condition. Many …

Axisymmetric gravity-capillary standing waves on the surface of a fluid

J Fillette, S Fauve, E Falcon - Physical Review Fluids, 2022 - APS
We report on the experimental study of axisymmetric gravity-capillary standing waves
generated by a vertically vibrating ring partially immersed into a fluid. Different regimes of …
