Many works have considered two-dimensional free-surface flow over the edge of a plate, forming waterfall, and with uniform horizontal far upstream. The is assumed to be steady irrotational, whilst fluid inviscid incompressible. Gravity also taken into account. In particular, amongst these works, numerical solutions for supercritical flows been computed, utilising conformal mappings as well seri...

Many species of gobiid fishes adhere to surfaces using a sucker formed from fusion of the pelvic fins. Juveniles of many amphidromous species use this pelvic sucker to scale waterfalls during migrations to upstream habitats after an oceanic larval phase. However, adults may still use suckers to re-scale waterfalls if displaced. If attachment force is proportional to sucker area and if growth of...

We propose a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone inflation where twin waterfall fields coupled to the inflaton are responsible for graceful exit from by transition. In this scenario, $Z_2$ symmetry and protects potential against dangerous quantum corrections coming couplings. show that there is wide range of natural model parameters initial conditions successful discuss reheating process perturbative decay ...

The knowledge of visibility information on a terrain is essential for a large number of current applications. There exist several algorithms in the literature for building visibility maps (VMs) but only for one single viewpoint or at most for a very small number of observers. This limitation is due to the high computational complexity of the used methods (which is greater than O(N2), where N is...
