Ripple is the more common name for a capillary wave in fluid dynamics.

Thermal motion is able to produce capillary waves at the molecular scale.

Landau Theory does not consider fluctuations like capillary waves, this could change the results qualitatively.

The ripples which surface-feeding fish detect are known more technically as capillary waves.

Due to an external perturbation, a standing capillary wave can form at the liquid-air interface.

Capillary waves are common in nature and the home, and are often referred to as 'ripple'.

Parasitic capillary waves are formed, with short wavelengths.

The same theory expands on this, stating that the valleys of the capillary waves create a source for vorticity.

These small waves are called capillary waves.

Scott P. Smith The lower the surface tension, the smaller the frequency of the capillary waves.

The vibration of a piezoelectric crystal causes capillary waves on the nozzle surface liquid film.

The effect of capillary waves is more pronounced for small asperities with heights comparable to the wave amplitude.

In contrast with this, capillary waves only forced by surface tension, propagate faster for shorter wavelengths.

Remarkably, it is possible to measure the deformation of capillary waves as well using a laser Doppler vibrometer.

Capillary wave, is a liquid surface wave (ripples), whose dynamics are dominated by the effects of surface tension.

Second, in order to generate capillary waves, it was assumed that the strider leg speed must exceed the minimum wave speed, m/s.

The radar echo is generated by Bragg scattering, hence wind generated surface ripple (capillary waves)must be present.

Capillary wave theory (CWT) is a classic account of how thermal fluctuations distort an interface.

An exact solution for non-linear pure capillary waves of permanent form, and for infinite fluid depth, was obtained by Crapper in 1957.

Note that these capillary waves - being short waves forced by surface tension, if gravity effects are negligible - have sharp troughs and flat crests.

According to Wikipedia, "A capillary wave is a wave traveling along the interface between two fluids, whose dynamics are dominated by the effects of surface tension."

The article further states that capillary waves typically have wavelengths in the 1 - 2 centimeter range and it at that scale, Scott's posting is definitely correct.

He and his small staff conducted pioneering studies in spectrometry, high-frequency sound and capillary waves, electro-encephalography, and the precise measurement of time, chronometry.

When a pure water jet impinges on a reservoir, capillary waves are excited and propagate up the jet at the same speed that the jet falls.

Shorter waves are also affected by surface tension and are called gravity-capillary waves and (if hardly influenced by gravity) capillary waves.
