Gravito–capillary waves at free surfaces are ubiquitous in several natural and industrial processes involving quiescent liquid pools bounded by cylindrical walls. These emanate from the relaxation of initial interface distortions, which often take form a cavity (depression) centred on symmetry axis container. The surface reflect container walls leading to radially inward propagating wavetrain converging (focussing) onto axis. Under inviscid approximation for sufficiently shallow cavities, is...

By comparing the response to external strains in metallic glasses and Lennard-Jones we find a quantitative universality of fundamental plastic instabilities athermal, quasistatic limit. Microscopically these two types are as different one can imagine, latter being determined by binary interactions, whereas former is multiple interactions due effect electron gas that cannot be disregarded. In spite this enormous difference instability same saddle-node bifurcation. As result, statistics stress...

We show numerically that large amplitude, shape deformations imposed on a spherical-cap, incompressible, sessile gas bubble pinned rigid wall can produce sharp, wall-directed jet. For such filled with permanent gas, the temporal spectrum for surface-tension-driven, linearized perturbations has been studied recently in D. Ding and J. Bostwick [“Oscillations of partially wetting bubble,” Fluid Mech. 945, A24 (2022)]. potential flow limit. reformulate this as an initial-value problem analogous...

Numerical studies of dimple and jet formation from a collapsing cavity often model the initial shape as truncated sphere, mimicking bursting bubble. In this study, we present minimal containing only nonlinear inertial capillary forces, which produces dimples jets wave trough. The trough in our simulation develops smooth perturbation, chosen to be an eigenmode linearised ${O}(\epsilon )$ problem ( $\epsilon$ is non-dimensional amplitude). We explain physical mechanism demonstrate that, for...

Metallic Glasses are prone to fail mechanically via a shear-banding instability. In remarkable paper Johnson and Samwer demonstrated that this failure enjoys high degree of universality in the sense large group metallic glasses appears possess yield-strain decreases with temperature following $-T^{2/3}$ law up logarithmic corrections. Letter we offer theoretical derivation law. We show our formula fits very well simulational data on typical amorphous solids.

The steady viscous shallow water equations are often used for the study of hydraulic jumps. We cast these as a single parametric ordinary differential equation with global continuity constraint. solution provides both local velocity profile and downstream evolution film height. Moreover this is an exact approach, in contrast existing approaches which encounter closure problem need modeling. There only one supercritical initially. This shows jumplike behavior at Froude number close to unity,...

Hydraulic jumps created by gravity are seen everyday in the kitchen sink. We show that at small scales a circular hydraulic jump can be absence of surface tension. The theory is motivated our experimental finding height discontinuity spreading submicron molten metal droplets pulsed-laser ablation. By careful control initial conditions, this leads to solid femtoliter cups gold, silver, copper, niobium, and tin.

Amorphous solids, confined on the nanoscale, are studied using molecular dynamics computer simulation. Unlike in bulk samples, failure patterns such systems strongly affected by confinement geometry and interfacial effects sample. We study a model glass, subjected to uniaxial loading, for varying aspect ratios of sample geometry. While small ratio, breaks forming neck, above critical value cavitation is seen. The ratio associated with strain-rate- temperature-dependent curvature which free...

The usefulness of glasses, and particularly metallic in technological applications is often limited by their toughness, (which defined as the area under stress vs. strain curve before plastic yielding). Recently, toughness was found to increase significantly addition small concentrations foreign atoms that act pinning centers. We model this phenomenon at zero temperature quasi-static straining with randomly positioned particles participate elastic deformation, but are pinned non-affine...

We present results of atomistic simulations a new model magnetic amorphous solid subjected to external mechanical strains and fields. The employed offers perspectives on important effects like Barkhausen noise magnetostriction. It is shown that the plastic response in such systems exhibit singularities characterized by unexpected exponents requiring careful theoretical reasoning. spatial structure events requires coarse grained elasto-magnetic theory which provided here.

We demonstrate dynamic stabilisation of axisymmetric Fourier modes susceptible to the classical Rayleigh-Plateau (RP) instability on a liquid cylinder by subjecting it radial oscillatory body force. Viscosity is found play crucial role in this stabilisation. Linear stability predictions are obtained via Floquet analysis demonstrating that RP unstable can be stabilised using forcing. also solve linearised, viscous initial-value problem for free-surface deformation obtaining an equation...

Unlike bores (in rivers), where the inter- face remains horizontal low Reynolds show linear increase height incoming flow due to viscosity. Consequently, presence or absence undulations depends both on inlet Froude and number unlike criterion is traditionally considered sufficient.
