Measurement of the free surface shape and its evolution in time and/or in space is of great
interest in many engineering/research applications. The optical measurements of a liquid …

Flat sheets patterned with folds, cuts or swelling regions can deform into complex three-
dimensional shapes under external stimuli,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,–. However, current strategies require …

Topological wave structures, such as vortices,,,,–, polarization textures,,,–and skyrmions,,,,,,–
, appear in various quantum and classical wave fields, including optics and acoustics. In …

The methods to study capillary waves have been reviewed together with the emerging
practical applications of theirs and new theoretical developments in the field. The focus is on …

Gravity simulators are laboratory systems in which small excitations such as sound or
surface waves, behave as fields propagating on a curved spacetime geometry. The analogy …

The late stages of the relaxation process of a black hole are expected to depend only on its
mass and angular momentum and not on the details of its formation process. Inspired by …

In order to measure the large density-gradient fields of fluids such as underwater shock
waves, we employed a fast Fourier demodulation called Fast Checkerboard Demodulation …

Here, we study and implement the temporal analog in time disordered sytems. A spatially
homogeneous medium is endowed with a time structure composed of randomly distributed …

We study the propagation of guided elastic waves in a highly-stretched Ecoflex© plate, a
nearly-incompressible elastomer. The plate is subjected to a nearly-uniaxial stress with an …

Time varying media recently emerged as promising candidates to fulfill the dream of
controlling the wave frequency without nonlinear effects. However, frequency conversion …
