Floaters, waves, and the surface tension
We argue theoretically and demonstrate experimentally that
in a standing wave floating particles drift towards the nodes
or anti-nodes depending on their hydrophilic or hydrophobic
properties. We explain this effect as the breakdown of
Archimedes law by a surface tension, which creates a
difference between the masses of the floater and displaced
liquid, making the particle effectively inertial.
We show analytically and confirm experimentally that the
We show analytically and confirm experimentally that the
drift appears as a second order effect in wave amplitude. We
investigate how the inertial effects change the statistics of
floater distribution in the case of random surface waves.

UKRI Deadlines
Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.
The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:
EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship
EPSRC Working with overseas scientists
