Surface Waves Alter Air Entrainment During Water Entry

Abstract: When a sphere crosses an air-water interface it can entrain a significant volume of air, a process relevant to numerous naval, industrial, and environmental settings. While air entrainment through sphere impact onto quiescent baths has been extensively studied, real-world interfaces are inherently unsteady, and the influence of surface waves is less understood. In this Letter, we systematically investigate the effect of interfacial geometry on the air entrained by impacting hydrophobic spheres onto an axisymmetric wavefield. By analyzing the resulting cavity across a wide parameter space, including wave phase, driving amplitude, and frequency, we reveal that local interface deformation dramatically alters air entrainment. This effect is driven by a geometric modulation of the splash curtain, which shifts the transition between cavity closure modes. We demonstrate that the influence of the waves is fully described by the local wave slope at the radius of the sphere, which alongside the Weber number We and Bond number Bo, establishes a foundational parametric framework for predicting air entrainment and cavity metrics across highly dynamic, real-world surfaces like the open ocean.

Sidewall effects on the onset of interfacial Holmboe waves in stratified exchange flows at high Schmidt number
Guilherme Siqueira de Aquino, Metten M. de Lange, Adrien Lefauve, Matias Duran-Matute

arXiv:2607.19565v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Predicting the onset of interfacial instabilities is central to understanding turbulent mixing in natural and engineered stratified shear flows. Here, we study the onset of travelling Holmboe waves in confined exchange flows along a slope. Earlier stratified inclined duct experiments have mapped this transition, and stability analyses based on measured or prescribed profiles have explained their emergence. However, a predictive criterion linking forcing, geometry, base flow, and wave onset was still lacking. We closed this gap with a long-duct, sharp-interface asymptotic theory for the three-dimensional laminar exchange flow, including the effects of sidewall friction. The resulting analytical solution naturally identifies a confinement-adjusted Froude number, $Fr^*$, which unifies the effects of forcing and confinement into a single measure of the effective laminar exchange flow. Using this solution to parameterise sidewall drag in a practical width-averaged model, we perform linear stability analyses and numerical simulations at high Schmidt number. Together, linear stability analysis, direct numerical simulations, and existing experiments across a range of duct widths show that wave onset is accurately predicted by an approximately constant critical value of $Fr^*$. Deviations arise only in very narrow ducts, where sidewalls influence instability not only by modifying the laminar exchange flow but also by directly damping perturbations and delaying wave onset. These findings provide a predictive criterion for wave onset, reconcile long-standing discrepancies among experimental configurations, and establish lateral confinement as a fundamental control on the transition from laminar exchange to wave-driven mixing in stratified shear flows.

Abstract: The inverse scattering transform (IST) provides the standard theoretical framework for deriving soliton dynamics. Traditionally, such derivations have been of an analytical, rather than data-driven, nature. In this paper, we combine the conceptual framework of the IST with weak-form system identification methods to discover effective soliton dynamics directly from observed scattering data, without assuming prior knowledge of the scattering equations. Our method avoids parameterizing solitary waves via ad hoc curve-fitting by working in the scattering domain, yielding interpretable low-dimensional models that remain valid in perturbed and near-integrable regimes. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach on synthetic and experimental data governed by shallow-water equations of Korteweg--de Vries-type and recover models that are consistent with canonical IST theory.

A longer, hotter reality surrounds marine heat waves, research reveals
Anyone who has boiled a pot of water understands that it takes both time and energy to raise the temperature, so it may come as a surprise to learn that scientists have long treated marine heat waves (MHWs) as isolated events. New research led by William & Mary's VIMS & Batten School is challenging that narrative by providing a framework to characterize an ecosystem's cumulative heat exposure from MHWs and the extended periods of warm water that precede and follow them.

Abstract: A soft thin elastic disk spinning in a viscous fluid experiences centrifugal tension generated by rotation together with viscous shear generated by the surrounding flow. While the former stabilizes the flat state, the latter can destabilize it. We combine the linearized F\"{o}ppl-von K\'{a}rm\'{a}n equations for a rotating elastic disk with the shear stresses arising from the classical von K\'{a}rm\'{a}n swirling flow to derive an elastohydrodynamic stability problem. Linear stability analysis identifies the onset of buckling in terms of two dimensionless control parameters measuring centrifugal stiffening and fluid-induced shear. Above threshold the disk buckles into azimuthally periodic saddle-like modes whose wavenumber increases with increasing rotational tension. The buckled configuration also supports retrograde traveling waves that rotate more slowly than the material frame. These results identify a simple mechanism whereby fluid shear destabilizes rotating elastic structures.
