Hydroelastic waves on elastic cells and fluid sheets

ORAL

Abstract

The deformations of an elastic cell in an uniform stream are examined numerically. Multiple solutions corresponding to steady wave modes are found. Comparisons are made with the case of a bubble with constant surface tension in an uniform stream. Related problems will be discussed, e.g. the deformation of an elastic cell in a circulatory flow and the travelling waves on fluid sheets between two elastic plates.
