The course is an introduction to the rich field of interfacial waves. The first half of the course prepares the student for studying wave phenomena by introducing discrete mechanical analogues of wave phenomena in fluid systems. The basic principles of normal mode analysis are introduced through point-mass systems connected through springs. The exact solution to the (nonlinear) pendulum equation is used to introduce the notion of amplitude dependence on frequency of the oscillator. The Kapitza pendulum is introduced as a discrete analogue for Faraday waves. Basic perturbation techniques are then introduced for subsequent use. The second half of the course introduces basics of interfacial waves viz. shallow and deep-water approximations, phase and group velocity, frequency and amplitude dispersion etc.. Capillary as well as capillary-gravity waves in various base state geometries (rectilinear, spherical (drops and bubbles including volumetric oscillations of the latter), cylindrical (filaments) are taught and the corresponding dispersion relation derived. The Stokes travelling wave is derived using the Lindstedt-Poincare technique and the amplitude dependence in the dispersion relation is highlighted. Side-band instability of the Stokes wave is discussed. Fluid particle trajectories for linear water waves is derived and the Stokes drift expression is derived. Time permitting, the Kelvin ship wave pattern in deep water is derived using the method of stationary phase. Introductory ideas in resonant interactions among surface gravity waves are discussed. The fundamental aspects studied in the course will be related to various engineering applications continuously.
