What other notable contributors to the theory of capillary waves are there? W Eisenmenger is the contributor who has started it.--MagnInd (talk) 20:35, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Rayleigh did quite some experimental and theoretical work on the subject. So the study of capillary waves is certainly not started by Eisenmenger. -- Crowsnest (talk) 22:53, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply
