Free-surface Hydrodynamics

Free-Surface Hydrodynamics is a branch of fluid dynamics that studies the behavior and evolution of fluid interfaces under the influence of gravitational, capillary, and inertial forces, specifically distinguishing itself by its focus on the motion and stability of surfaces where two immiscible fluids of different densities meet, typically involving air-water boundaries in both linear and nonlinear wave regimes.
