Nonlinear waves at interfaces

Nonlinearities and dispersion of water waves are responsible of numerous and remarkable phenomena, such as the existence of hydraulic jumps in a kitchen sink, of solitary waves of various types, complex behaviour of geophysical waves such as internal waves and inertial waves, and of the formation of giant "rogue" waves in the sea, "appearing from nowhere" and of very short lifetime. From capillary to gravity waves, several models have been designed, but the complexity of the set of equations which governs non-linear waves suggests a large plurality of shapes and of associated mechanisms, that deserve a deep and systematic exploration. This meeting is aimed at associating both experimentalists and theoreticians to publicize their last results and to try to design new mechanisms.
Location: the meeting will take place mostly in the Geosciences amphitheater except on thursday afternoon, which will be at the Chemistry amphitheater, see venue.
Program: see the dedicated program page and also the program of the other meetings.
