Superlensing effect in liquid surface waves

X Hu, Y Shen, X Liu, R Fu, J Zi - Physical Review E, 2004 - APS
We present experimental observations and numerical simulations of superlensing effect in
liquid surface waves. We use rigid cylinders to create a two-dimensional periodic lattice, in …

Refraction of water waves by periodic cylinder arrays

X Hu, CT Chan - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We show that in the long wavelength limit, water waves propagate through an array of
bottom-mounted vertical cylinders as if the water has an effective depth and effective …

Fast water waves in stationary surface disk arrays

X Zhao, X Hu, J Zi - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Traditionally, the phase and group velocities of water waves can be increased by increasing
water depth but possess upper bounds, which are related to the gravitational acceleration …

Optimal wave reflection as a mechanism for seagrass self-organization

RC van de Vijsel, E Hernández-García, A Orfila… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Ecosystems threatened by climate change can boost their resilience by developing spatial
patterns. Spatially regular patterns in wave-exposed seagrass meadows are attributed to …

Ultrasonic wedges for elastic wave bending and splitting without requiring a full band gap

M Torres, FRM de Espinosa, JL Aragon - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
We present a novel twinned-square periodic structure for ultrasonic wave bending and
splitting that does not require the existence of a complete band gap and plays the role of an …

Negative effective gravity in water waves by periodic resonator arrays

X Hu, CT Chan, KM Ho, J Zi - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
Based on analytic derivations and numerical simulations, we show that near a low resonant
frequency water waves cannot propagate through a periodic array of resonators (bottom …

Achieving complete band gaps of water waves with shallow-draft cylinder arrays

J Zeng, X Zhao, X Sun, X Hu - Physical Review Applied, 2023 - APS
Conventionally, band gaps of water waves can be obtained with periodic arrays of bottom-
mounted obstacles or vertical cylinders. However, such structures need to possess a large …
