Propagation of capillary waves in two-layer oil–water turbulent flow
We study the dynamics of capillary waves at the interface of a two-layer stratified turbulent
channel flow. We use a combined pseudo-spectral/phase field method to solve for the …

Experimental quasi-1D capillary-wave turbulence
Wave turbulence in quasi-1D geometry is usually not investigated experimentally since low-
order resonant wave interactions are theoretically prohibited. Here, we report on the first …

Growth and spectra of gravity–capillary waves in countercurrent air/water turbulent flow
Using direct numerical simulation of the Navier–Stokes equations, we analyse the dynamics
of the interface between air and water when the two phases are driven by opposite pressure …
