Parametrically excited water surface ripples as ensembles of oscillons.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that ripples on the surface of deep water which are driven parametrically by monochromatic vertical vibration represent ensembles of oscillating solitons, or quasiparticles, rather than waves. The horizontal mobility of oscillons determines the broadening of spectral lines and transitions from chaos to regular patterns. It is found that microscopic additions of proteins to water dramatically affect the oscillon mobility and drive transitions from chaos to order. The shape of the oscillons in physical space determines the shape of the frequency spectra of the surface ripple.

Oscillon dynamics and rogue wave generation in Faraday surface ripples.
We report new experimental results which suggest that the generation of extreme wave events in the Faraday surface ripples is related to the increase in the horizontal mobility of oscillating solitons (oscillons). The analysis of the oscillon trajectories in a horizontal plane shows that at higher vertical acceleration, oscillons move chaotically, merge and form enclosed areas on the water surf...
متن کاملStability Analysis in Parametrically Excited Electrostatic Torsional Micro-actuators
This paper addresses the static and dynamic stabilities of a parametrically excited torsional micro-actuator. The system is composed of a rectangular micro-mirror symmetrically suspended between two electrodes and acted upon by a steady (dc ) while simultaneously superimposed to an (ac ) voltage. First, the stability of the system subjected to a quasi-statically applied (dc ) voltage is investi...
متن کاملAn efficient analytical solution for nonlinear vibrations of a parametrically excited beam
An efficient and accurate analytical solution is provided using the homotopy-Pade technique for the nonlinear vibration of parametrically excited cantilever beams. The model is based on the Euler-Bernoulli assumption and includes third order nonlinear terms arisen from the inertial and curvature nonlinearities. The Galerkin’s method is used to convert the equation of motion to a nonlinear ordin...
متن کاملClassification of Spatially Localized Oscillations in Periodically Forced Dissipative Systems
Formation of spatially localized oscillations in parametrically driven systems is studied, focusing on the dominant 2:1 resonance tongue. Both damped and self-excited oscillatory media are considered. Near the primary subharmonic instability such systems are described by the forced complex Ginzburg–Landau equation. The technique of spatial dynamics is used to identify three basic types of coher...
متن کاملNodal Two-Dimensional Solitons in Nonlinear Parametric Resonance
The parametrically driven damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation serves as an amplitude equation for a variety of resonantly forced oscillatory systems on the plane. In this note, we consider its nodal soliton solutions. We show that although the nodal solitons are stable against radially-symmetric perturbations for sufficiently large damping coefficients, they are always unstable to azimuthal p...
