The two-dimensional sloshing problem is considered in a half-plane covered by a rigid dock with two symmetric gaps. It is proved that the antisymmetric (symmetric) sloshing eigenvalues are monotonically decreasing (increasing) functions of spacing between gaps and formulae for their derivatives are obtained. sloshing problem / eigenvalue / eigenfunction / integral operator / asymptotic formula ...

Speedmeters are known to be quantum non-demolition devices and, by potentially providing sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit, become interesting for third generation gravitational wave detectors. Here we introduce a new configuration, the sloshing-Sagnac interferometer, and compare it to the more established ring-Sagnac interferometer. The sloshing-Sagnac interferometer is designed to...
