We show that each projection eventually induces a rapid loss of total energy in the liquid motion and contributes to its nonlinear damping.Mathematics, AppliedPhysics, MathematicalMathematicsPhysicsnormal-modessurfacedynamicshysteresisvibrationinterfaceliquidsplateRelaxation of capillary-gravity waves due to contact line nonlinearity: A projection methodtext::journal::journal article::research article
