How waves affect the distribution of particles that float on a liquid surface.

چکیده
We study experimentally how waves affect the distribution of particles that float on a liquid surface. We show that clustering of small particles in a standing wave is a nonlinear effect with the clustering time decreasing as the square of the wave amplitude. In a set of random waves, we show that small floaters concentrate on a multifractal set with caustics.

In this study, Aluminium2024- Graphite composites containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 weight percent of graphite were produced by solid assisted melt disintegration (SAMD) technique which resulted in production of Al/Gr powder mixtures which subsequently consolidated and sintered for preparation of Al/Gr composites. In this technique, powder mixture was prepared by addition of flake graphite (mean diam...
متن کاملEffect of colloidal Particles associated with the liquid bridge in sticking during drying in Superheated Steam
It is very important in the design of a drying system is to evaluate sticking behaviour of the materials goes under drying. A new approach to the sticking issue is applied in this study by carrying out a sticking test for the liquid associated with the materials under study. It was found that the liquid bridge is responsible of the initial sticking of the materials to the contact surface and th...
