Measurement of mean flows of Faraday waves.
نویسنده
چکیده
We measure the velocities of the mean flows that are driven by curved rolls in a pattern formation system. Curved rolls in Faraday waves are generated in experimental cells consisting of channels with varying widths. The mean flow magnitudes are found to scale linearly with roll curvatures and squares of wave amplitudes, agreeing with the prediction from the analysis of phase dynamics expansion. The effects of the mean flows on reducing roll curvatures are also seen.

A phenomenological model of weakly damped Faraday waves and the associated mean flow
Abstract A phenomenological model of parametric surface waves (Faraday waves) is introduced in the limit of small viscous dissipation that accounts for the coupling between surface motion and slowly varying streaming and large scale flows (mean flow). The primary bifurcation of the model is to a set of standing waves (stripes, given the functional form of the model nonlinearities chosen here). ...

متن کاملMagnetospheric radio tomographic imaging with IMAGE and Wind
[1] Recent theoretical studies have shown the feasibility and potential scientific value of radio tomographic imaging of Earth’s magnetosphere by measuring Faraday rotation and phase difference (or group delay) of coherent radio wave signals. On 15 August 2000, a 6 W linearly polarized 828 kHz signal transmitted by the Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) on the IMAGE spacecraft was clearly detected by WA...
متن کاملContact-line dynamics and damping for oscillating free surface flows
New experimental data on the frequency and damping of Faraday water waves in glass tanks are presented to demonstrate the contact-line effect on free surface flows. We find a complicated nonlinear relationship between wave frequency and amplitude near contact lines: The amplitude dispersion for decaying standing waves directly progresses from a nonlinear regime due to large amplitude to a regim...
متن کاملSignatures of primordial helicity in the CMBR
We have studied ways in which helical primordial magnetic fields could be constrained by measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). If there were helical flows in the primordial plasma at the time of recombination, they would produce parity violating temperature-polarization correlations (C l and C EB l ). However, the magnitude of helical flows induced by helical magneti...
