Capillary waves[edit]

What other notable contributors to the theory of capillary waves are there? W Eisenmenger is the contributor who has started it.--MagnInd (talk) 20:35, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some examples:

Faraday, M. (1831). "On a Peculiar Class of Acoustical Figures; and on Certain Forms Assumed by Groups of Particles upon Vibrating Elastic Surfaces". Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. 121: 299–340. doi:10.1098/rstl.1831.0018.
Russell, J. Scott (1845). "Report on Waves". Report of the fourteenth meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, York, September 1844 (PDF). London: John Murray. 311–390, Plates XLVII–LVII. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |nopp= ignored (|no-pp= suggested) (help)
Thomson, William (Lord Kelvin) (1871). "Hydrokinetic solutions and observations". Philosophical Magazine Series 4. 42: 362–377.
Thomson, William (Lord Kelvin) (1871). "Ripples and Waves". Nature. 5 (105): 1–3. doi:10.1038/005001a0.
Crapper, G.D. (1957), "An exact solution for progressive capillary waves of arbitrary amplitude", Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2 (6): 532–540, doi:10.1017/S0022112057000348

For an account on the history of capillary waves, see also:

Also Lord Rayleigh did quite some experimental and theoretical work on the subject. So the study of capillary waves is certainly not started by Eisenmenger. -- Crowsnest (talk) 22:53, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
