TLDR
One-dimensional waves in fluids as discussed by the authors were used to describe sound waves and water waves in the literature, as well as the internal wave and the water wave in fluids, and they can be classified into three classes: sound wave, water wave, and internal wave.

Unsteady velocity profiling in bores and positive surges

TL;DR: In this paper, the velocity profiling measurements were performed systematically under controlled flow conditions, both steady and unsteady measurements were conducted in a relatively large laboratory facility and the results were ensemble-averaged.

Waves in the presence of magnetic fields, rotation and convection

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of rotation and magnetic fields on electrically conducting fluids is discussed, and it is shown that these influences can impart intrinsic stability to the fluids, such as hydromagnetic or Alfven waves.

How linear surface waves are affected by a current with constant vorticity

TL;DR: In this article, a simple two-dimensional theory of surface waves propagating upon a basic flow of uniform vorticity of constant depth is presented, and the dispersion relation is found, showing how the shearing current introduces different phase velocities for upstream and downstream propagating waves.

Observation of star-shaped surface gravity waves

TL;DR: In this article, a new type of standing gravity waves of large amplitude, having alternatively the shape of a star and of a polygon, was observed by means of a laboratory experiment by vibrating vertically a tank.

Forces on bodies moving unsteadily in rapidly compressed flows

TL;DR: In this article, the inviscid compressible flow generated by a rigid body of volume V moving unsteadily with a velocity U in a rapidly compressed homentropic flow is considered.
