Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in a Hele-Shaw cell: Large effect from the small region near the meniscus [PDF]
, 2005 In an attempt to improve the poor prediction of our previous theory, we examine corrections from the small region in a Hele-Shaw cell near the meniscus where the flow is three dimensional.

From parabolic-trough to metasurface-concentrator
, 2017 Metasurfaces are promising tools towards novel designs for flat optics applications. As such their quality and tolerance to fabrication imperfections need to be evaluated with specific tools. However, most such tools rely on the geometrical optics approximation and are not straightforwardly applicable to metasurfaces.
