| contents | The propagation of water waves is altered when interacting with curved surfaces. Here, we consider the problem of capillary waves interacting with a 3D meniscus. We show that when capillary waves scatter off an object surrounded by a meniscus, the resulting wavefield can be drastically altered and lensing phenomena is observed. Our results are not only an important step in surface tension dominated wave interactions, but may have implications in the biological communication of surface dwelling animals. |
