On an Initial Value Problem Describing the Small Oscillations of a Floating Cylinder

We study a coupled PDE-ODE system modeling the small oscillations of a floating cylinder interacting with small water waves. We consider the case when the floating is supposed to be an infinite circular cylinder, so that the equations of the free surface of the fluid can be written in one space dimension. The governing equations are formulated as an abstract evolution equation in a suitable Hilbert space, and we establish the well-posedness of the associated initial value problem. A key element of the proof is the analysis of a partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on an unbounded domain with a non-smooth boundary.

Rogue wave (Oceanography 🌊)

Rogue waves are unusually large, unpredictable, and suddenly appearing surface waves that can be extremely dangerous to ships and isolated structures such as lighthouses. They are distinct from tsunamis, which are often almost unnoticeable in deep waters and are caused by the displacement of water due to other phenomena. A rogue wave at the s...

Researchers built an analogue computer that uses water waves to forecast the chaotic future

Can a computer learn from the past and anticipate what will happen next, like a human? You might not be surprised to hear that some cutting-edge AI models could achieve this feat, but what about a computer that looks a little different—more like a tank of water?
