Direct visual observation of thermal capillary waves.
We studied the free fluid-fluid interface in a phase-separated colloid-polymer dispersion with laser scanning confocal microscopy and directly observed thermally induced capillary waves at the interface in real space. Experimental results for static and dynamic correlation functions validate the capillary wave model down to almost the particle level. The ultralow interfacial tension, the capill...
متن کاملDirect numerical investigation of turbulence of capillary waves.
We consider the inertial range spectrum of capillary wave turbulence. Under the assumptions of weak turbulence, the theoretical surface elevation spectrum scales with wave number k as Iη∼k(α), where α=α0=-19/4, energy (density) flux P as P(1/2). The proportional factor C, known as the Kolmogorov constant, has a theoretical value of C=C0=9.85 (we show that this value holds only after a formulati...
متن کاملThermal capillary waves relaxing on atomically thin liquid films
Atomistic simulations are used to investigate the relaxation dynamics of thermal capillary waves on thin flat liquid films. Short Lennard-Jones polymers n=2, 4, and 8 model the liquid in films of thickness 6 to 96 , where is the Lennard-Jones atomic length-scale parameter. Assuming no-slip boundary conditions on the solid wall and constant surface tension and viscosity, the standard continuum m...
متن کاملDirect observation of Kelvin waves excited by quantized vortex reconnection.
Quantized vortices are key features of quantum fluids such as superfluid helium and Bose-Einstein condensates. The reconnection of quantized vortices and subsequent emission of Kelvin waves along the vortices are thought to be central to dissipation in such systems. By visualizing the motion of submicron particles dispersed in superfluid (4)He, we have directly observed the emission of Kelvin w...
متن کاملDirect observation of prompt pre-thermal laser ion sheath acceleration
High-intensity laser plasma-based ion accelerators provide unsurpassed field gradients in the megavolt-per-micrometer range. They represent promising candidates for next-generation applications such as ion beam cancer therapy in compact facilities. The weak scaling of maximum ion energies with the square-root of the laser intensity, established for large sub-picosecond class laser systems, moti...
