effet ondulent/ Effets des rides concentriques Explanation: In English it is referred to as the "Ripple effect" and in french it is the "Effet ondulent". For example you could write: Les effets ondulents des rides concentriques. The ripple effect of ever increasing circles.Of course you could also write. Les effets des rides concentriques. |

cercles concentriques Explanation: This is IMHO the most commonly used, the image of the ripples is perhaps just as much know, but less often evocated. Some occurrences: http://www.phares-balises.fr/fiches/8mai45.html http://www.anais.org/ARTICLES/ARTICLE119.HTML http://www.presse-francophone.org/agence/DocFIPF.htm |

exponentiel Explanation: Je n'irais pas jusqu'à affirmer qu'on peut vraiment dire "cercles exponentiels", mais il me semble que l'idée est là. Et comme je ne suis pas sûre non plus du sens de ta question, voici des mots/expressions: "en spirale, spiralé" (révolutions autour d'un point fixe et s'en éloignant) "onde de choc" "comme des ronds dans l'eau" ondoiement (mouvement semblable à celui de la surface d'un liquide parcourue par des ondes) |
