Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary waves. Studied since antiquity, they ...

But little research has been done to understand if water-waves can be used in a similar manner. Read the paper here: Topological water-wave structures manipulating particles Now though ...

These ripples are waves travelling through the water. Like ocean waves, these ripples are transverse waves because the surface of the water moves up and down, at 90° to the direction that the ...

acoustic and quantum-mechanical wave equations, to the equations describing linear waves (either gravity or capillary) on the water surface." The recent work by this team of researchers shows that ...
