Observation of star-shaped surface gravity waves.
We report a new type of standing gravity wave of large amplitude, having alternatively the shape of a star and of a polygon. This wave is observed by means of a laboratory experiment by vertically vibrating a tank. The symmetry of the star (i.e., the number of branches) is independent of the container form and size, and can be changed according to the amplitude and frequency of the vibration. W...
متن کاملThe instability of periodic surface gravity waves
Euler’s equations describe the dynamics of gravity waves on the surface of an ideal fluid with arbitrary depth. In this paper, we discuss the stability of periodic travelling wave solutions to the full set of nonlinear equations via a non-local formulation of the water wave problem, modified from that of Ablowitz, Fokas & Musslimani (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 562, 2006, p. 313), restricted to a one-...
متن کاملExperimental Observation of Negative Effective Gravity in Water Waves
The gravity of Earth is responsible for the formation of water waves and usually difficult to change. Although negative effective gravity was recently predicted theoretically in water waves, it has not yet been observed in experiments and remains a mathematical curiosity which is difficult to understand. Here we experimentally demonstrate that close to the resonant frequency of purposely-design...
متن کاملTopology Preserving Surface Extraction Using Star-shaped Subdivision
We address the problem of computing a topology preserving isosurface from a volumetric grid using Marching Cubes for geometry processing applications. We present a novel topology preserving subdivision algorithm to generate an adaptive grid. Our algorithm ensures that every grid cell satisfies two local geometric properties: a complex cell property and a star-shaped property. We show that these...
متن کاملOn Gravity Waves on the Surface of Tangential Discontinuity
On the basis of critical analysis of literature it is shown that the existing theory of surface gravity waves is incorrect and contradictory. Based on the new results published by the author dispersive equation for linear waves generated on the surface of tangential discontinuity between air and water was obtained. It is demonstrated that this equation is applicable only to capillary waves and ...
