Waves at the fluid surface during the motion of a submerged ellipsoid of revolution

Membrane flutter induced by radiation of surface gravity waves on a uniform flow

“…Surface gravity waves on a motionless fluid of finite depth are a classical subject as well, going back to the seminal studies of Russell and Kelvin (Carusotto & Rousseaux 2013). Numerous generalizations are known taking into account, for instance, a uniform or a shear flow and surface tension (Maissa, Rousseaux & Stepanyants 2016), submerged solids (Smorodin 1972; Arzhannikov & Kotelnikov 2016) and hydrofoils (Faltinsen & Semenov 2008), a flexible bottom (Mohapatra & Sahoo 2011) or a flexible plate resting on a free surface (Greenhill 1886; Schulkes, Hosking & Sneyd 1987; Bochkarev, Lekomtsev & Matveenko 2016; Das, Sahoo & Meylan 2018 a , b ; Das et al 2018). The latter setting has a straightforward motivation in the dynamics of sea ice and a less obvious application in the analogue gravity experiments (Barcelo, Liberati & Visser 2011; Weinfurtner et al 2011; Carusotto & Rousseaux 2013).…”
