  2. Capillary wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_wave

    Capillary waves (ripples) in water Ripples on Lifjord in Øksnes Municipality, Norway Capillary waves produced by droplet impacts on the interface between water and air.. A capillary wave is a wave traveling along the phase boundary of a fluid, whose dynamics and phase velocity are dominated by the effects of surface tension.

  3. Ripple tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_tank

    In physics, a ripple tank is a shallow glass tank of water used to demonstrate the basic properties of waves. It is a specialized form of a wave tank. The ripple tank is usually illuminated from above, so that the light shines through the water. Some small ripple tanks fit onto the top of an overhead projector, i.e

  4. Bubble ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_ring

    A bubble ring, or toroidal bubble, is an underwater vortex ring where an air bubble occupies the core of the vortex, forming a ring shape. The ring of air as well as the nearby water spins poloidally as it travels through the water, much like a flexible bracelet might spin when it is rolled on to a person's arm.

  5. Caustic (optics) - Wikipedia

    Caustics produced by a glass of water, visible as patches of light Cardioid caustic at the bottom of a teacup Caustics made by the surface of water Caustics in shallow water In optics , a caustic or caustic network [ 1 ] is the envelope of light rays which have been reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that ...

  7. Ringing artifacts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringing_artifacts

    The term "ringing" is most often used for ripples in the time domain, though it is also sometimes used for frequency domain effects: [2] windowing a filter in the time domain by a rectangular function causes ripples in the frequency domain for the same reason as a brick-wall low pass filter (rectangular function in the frequency domain) causes ...

  8. Wave-formed ripple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave-formed_ripple

    Bi-directional ripples are rarely symmetrical due to the difference in force of the two directions, where as the wave formed or oscillation ripples form from the circular water movement pattern of water molecules. These ripples form parallel to the shore line. They usually display rounded troughs and rounded crests. Wave motion-i18n

  9. Sedimentary structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentary_structures

    Wave ripple or symmetric ripple, from Permian rocks in Nomgon, Mongolia with "decapitation" of ripple crests due to change in current. Ripple marks usually form in conditions with flowing water, in the lower part of the Lower Flow Regime. There are two types of ripple marks: Symmetrical ripple marks
