Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the attenuation of progressive deep-water waves by a mono-layer of loose- and close-packed floating spheres. We measured the decay distance of ...

Liquids can provide some especially tricky challenges for space travelers, but new research from the University of Mississippi could help engineer smarter, more efficient fluid control in zero- and ...

On a calm day, a light breeze might barely ripple the surface of a lake on Earth. But on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, a similar mild wind would kick up 10-foot-tall waves. This otherworldly behavior ...

The way waves propagate through liquids (Kelvin wave patterns) and solids (Rayleigh waves) were thought to be two distinct phenomena. A new study analyzing ultra soft solids, such as gels and ...

Learn how a new model shows how waves form on alien oceans, revealing that gentle winds could create massive swells on Titan, while even hurricane-force winds barely stir lava seas on distant worlds.

This paper examines how radiating surface structure can influence the properties of beam-shaping of the piezoelectric piston type underwater acoustic transducers. The study is done using a broad ...
