Capillary - gravity wave resistance in ordinary and magnetic fluids
نویسنده
چکیده
Wave resistance is the drag force associated to the emission of waves by a moving disturbance at a fluid free surface. In the case of capillary-gravity waves it undergoes a transition from zero to a finite value as the speed of the disturbance is increased. For the first time an experiment is designed in order to obtain the wave resistance as a function of speed. The effect of viscosity is explored, and a magnetic fluid is used to extend the available range of critical speeds. The threshold values are in good agreement with the proposed theory. Contrary to the theoretical model, however, the measured wave resistance reveals a non monotonic speed dependence after the threshold. PACS numbers: 47.35.+i, 68.10.-m, 75.50.Mm Typeset using REVTEX

متن کاملInvasion Percolation in Presence of Gravity
Simultaneous capillary dominated displacement of the wetting and non-wetting phases are processes of interest in many disciplines including modeling of the penetration of polluting liquids in hydrology or the secondary migration in petroleum reservoir engineering. Percolation models and in particular invasion percolation is well suited to characterize the slow immiscible displaceme...
متن کاملSeveral Interesting Characters of Capillary-Gravity Wave
At the liquid-air interface, if there exist any moving disturbances, like a water-walking insect or just a simple pressure source, it will generate capillary-gravity waves [1-4]. The restoring force in this picture is a combination of the gravity and surface tension. And since the disturbance expends a power to generate these waves, it will experience a drag, known as the wave resistance [5]. S...
