Strichartz Estimates for the Water-Wave Problem with Surface Tension by Christianson, Hans, Hur, Vera Mikyoung, Staffilani, Gigliola

“…Strichartz-type estimates for one-dimensional surface water-waves under surface tension are studied, based on the formulation of the problem as a nonlinear dispersive equation. …”

Orthogonality Conditions and Asymptotic Stability in the Stefan Problem with Surface Tension by Hadzic, Mahir

“…We prove nonlinear asymptotic stability of steady spheres in the two-phase Stefan problem with surface tension. Our method relies on the introduction of appropriate orthogonality conditions in conjunction with a high-order energy method.…”

Polygonal instabilities on interfacial vorticities by Labousse, M., Bush, John W. M.

“…Two distinct instability mechanisms are identified that rely on, respectively, surface tension and fluid inertia, either of which may prompt the transformation from a circular to a polygonal torus. …”

Long Time Behavior of a Quasilinear Hyperbolic System Modelling Elastic Membranes by Shao, Chengyang

“…Abstract The paper studies the long time behavior of a simplified model of an elastic membrane driven by surface tension and inner air pressure. The system is a degenerate quasilinear hyperbolic one that involves the mean curvature, and also includes a damping term that models the dissipative nature of genuine physical systems. …”

Can flexibility help you float? by Burton, Lisa Janelle, Bush, John W. M.

“…Plates small relative to the capillary length are primarily supported by surface tension, and their weight-bearing potential does not benefit from flexibility. …”

Water entry of small hydrophobic spheres by Bush, John W. M., Aristoff, Jeffrey M.

“…Particular attention is given to characterizing the shape of the resulting air cavity in the low Bond number limit, where cavity collapse is driven principally by surface tension rather than gravity. A parameter study reveals the dependence of the cavity structure on the governing dimensionless groups. …”
