Abstract

A review is made of the calculation (and comparison with experiments) of the damping of surface waves, with special emphasis in some recent results and their quantitative and qualitative consequences on the surface waves dynamics. A method is proposed to experimentally measure the main surfactant properties associated with surface wave damping using the liquid bridge configuration.
