Propagation Dynamics of Airy Water-Wave Pulses.
We observe the propagation dynamics of surface gravity water waves, having an Airy function envelope, in both the linear and the nonlinear regimes. In the linear regime, the shape of the envelope is preserved while propagating in an 18-m water tank, despite the inherent dispersion of the wave packet. The Airy wave function can propagate at a velocity that is slower (or faster if the Airy envelo...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of stable wave patterns on deep water
Recent predictions from competing theoretical models have disagreed about the stability/instability of bi-periodic patterns of surface waves on deep water. We present laboratory experiments to address this controversy. Growth rates of modulational perturbations are compared to predictions from: (i) inviscid coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations, according to which the patterns are unsta...
متن کاملDynamics of two-dimensional traveling-wave convection patterns.
We report an experimental study of traveling-wave convection patterns in a binary mixture of ethanol and water. We survey the patterns observed in a large aspect ratio cylindrical container over a broad range of Rayleigh numbers. It is found that disordered patterns observed immediately after travelingwave convection is initiated evolve toward organized multi-domain patterns, and that the natur...
متن کاملPropagation Dynamics of Nonspreading Cosine-Gauss Water-Wave Pulses.
Linear gravity water waves are highly dispersive; therefore, the spreading of initially short wave trains characterizes water surface waves, and is a universal property of a dispersive medium. Only if there is sufficient nonlinearity does this envelope admit solitary solutions which do not spread and remain in fixed forms. Here, in contrast to the nonlinear localized wave packets, we present bo...
متن کاملAggregation Dynamics Using Phase Wave Signals and Branching Patterns
Target and spiral patterns are characteristic patterns in excitable and oscillatory media such as the BelousovZhabotinsky reaction [1, 2]. Similar target and spiral patterns are also observed in the aggregation of the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum [3]. The cAMP concentration exhibits limit-cycle oscillation in the slime mold. Martiel and Goldbeter proposed a mathematical model of the limi...
