Effect of surface tension on the mode selection of vertically excited surface waves in a circular cylindrical vessel

Singular perturbation theory of two-time-scale expansions was developed in inviscid fluids to investigate patternforming, structure of the single surface standing wave, and its evolution with time in a circular cylindrical vessel subject to a vertical oscillation. A nonlinear slowly varying complex amplitude equation, which involves a cubic nonlinear term,an external excitation and the influence of surface tension, was derived from the potential flow equation. Surface tensionwas introduced by the boundary condition of the free surface in an ideal and incompressible fluid. The results show that when forced frequency is low, the effect of surface tension on the mode selection of surface waves is not important.However, when the forced frequency is high, the surface tension cannot be neglected. This manifests that the function of surface tension is to cause the free surface to return to its equilibrium configuration. In addition, the effect of surface tension seems to make the theoretical results much closer to experimental results.     

Symmetric waves are traveling waves for a shallow water equation modeling surface waves of moderate amplitude

Following a general principle introduced by Ehrnström, Holden and Raynaud in 2009, we prove that for an equation modeling the free surface evolution of moderate amplitude waves in shallow water, all symmetric waves are traveling waves.     

Dissipative Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with External Forcing in Rotational Stratified Fluids and Its Solution

The dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a forcing item is derived by using of multiple scales analysis and perturbation method as a mathematical model of describing envelope solitary Rossby waves with dissipation effect and external forcing in rotational stratified fluids. By analyzing the evolution of amplitude of envelope solitary Rossby waves, it is found that the shear of basic flow, Brunt-Vaisala frequency and β effect are important factors in forming the envelope solitary Rossby waves. By employing Jacobi elliptic function expansion method and Hirota's direct method, the analytic solutions of dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation and forced nonlinear Schrödinger equation are derived, respectively. With the help of these solutions, the effects of dissipation and external forcing on the evolution of envelope solitary Rossby wave are also discussed in detail. The results show that dissipation causes slowly decrease of amplitude of envelope solitary Rossby waves and slowly increase of width, while it has no effect on the propagation speed and different types of external forcing can excite the same envelope solitary Rossby waves. It is notable that dissipation and different types of external forcing have certain influence on the carrier frequency of envelope solitary Rossby waves.     

Wave instability of a molten metal layer formed by intense laser irradiation

Wave structure of a molten metal layer flowing over the walls of a vapor-gas cavern that appears as an intense laser radiation penetrates deep into condensed media is studied theoretically taking into account surface tension, gravitation, thermocapillary effect, and nonuniform evaporation from the free surface of the melt. A long-wavelength evolution equation describing the evolution of nonlinear waves on the free surface of a plane molten layer is derived. The spatially periodic running solution to this equation is obtained, and the main characteristics (amplitude and period) of the nonlinear wave structures are determined.     

耗散对孤波与局地地形相互作用的影响

Generation of Solitary Rossby Waves by Unstable Topography

The effect of topography on generation of the solitary Rossby waves is researched.Here,the topography,as a forcing for waves generation,is taken as a function of longitude variable x and time variable t,which is called unstable topography.With the help of a perturbation expansion method,a forced mKdv equation governing the evolution of amplitude of the solitary Rossby waves is derived from quasi-geostrophic vorticity equation and is solved by the pseudospectral method.Basing on the waterfall plots,the generational features of the solitary Rossby waves under the influence of unstable topography and stable topography are compared and some conclusions are obtained.     

Van der waals waves in free-surface liquids

It is shown that, along with gravity waves, surface and internal waves caused by van der Waals forces may exist in a liquid with a horizontal free surface. A dispersion relation is found by using the stepwise approximation for the coefficients of a wave equation derived for these waves. The surface waves are similar to surface gravity waves in dispersion and amplitude distribution but differ in frequency by several orders of magnitude. Another sequence of roots in the spectrum corresponds to internal van der Waals waves that have an upper frequency bound and the dispersion law typical of a multimode waveguide.     

Vertically forced surface wave in weakly viscous fluids bounded in a circular cylindrical vessel

Two-time scale perturbation expansions were developed in weakly viscous fluids to investigate surface wave motions by linearizing the Navier－Stokes equation in a circular cylindrical vessel which is subject to a vertical oscillation. The fluid field was divided into an outer potential flow region and an inner boundary layer region. A linear amplitude equation of slowly varying complex amplitude, which incorporates a damping term and external excitation, was derived for the weakly viscid fluids. The condition for the appearance of stable surface waves was obtained and the critical curve was determined. In addition, an analytical expression for the damping coefficient was determined and the relationship between damping and other related parameters (such as viscosity, forced amplitude, forced frequency and the depth of fluid, etc.) was presented. Finally, the influence both of the surface tension and the weak viscosity on the mode formation was described by comparing theoretical and experimental results. The results show that when the forcing frequency is low, the viscosity of the fluid is prominent for the mode selection. However, when the forcing frequency is high, the surface tension of the fluid is prominent.     

Nonlinear gravitational waves on the surface of viscous fluid: Lagrangian approach

The problems of the asymptotic theory of weakly nonlinear surface waves in viscous fluid are discussed. For standing waves on deep water, the solutions obtained in the first- and second-order approximations in a small parameter—wave steepness—are analyzed. The evolution equation for the amplitude of wave packet envelope is obtained where the inverse Reynolds number is equal to the squared steepness. It is shown that this is a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with linear dissipation.     

Weakly nonlinear non-Boussinesq internal gravity wavepackets

Internal gravity wavepackets induce a horizontal mean flow that interacts nonlinearly with the waves if they are of moderately large amplitude. In this work, a new theoretical derivation for the wave-induced mean flow of internal gravity waves is presented. Using this we examine the weakly nonlinear evolution of internal wavepackets in two dimensions. By restricting the two-dimensional waves to be horizontally periodic and vertically localized, we derive the nonlinear Schrödinger equation describing the vertical and temporal evolution of the amplitude envelope of non-Boussinesq waves. The results are compared with fully nonlinear numerical simulations restricted to two dimensions. The initially small-amplitude wavepacket grows to become weakly nonlinear as it propagates upward due to non-Boussinesq effects. In comparison with the results of fully nonlinear numerical simulations, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is found to capture the dominant initial behaviour of the waves, indicating that the interaction of the waves with the induced horizontal mean flow is the dominant mechanism for weakly nonlinear evolution. In particular, due to modulational stability, hydrostatic waves propagate well above the level at which linear theory predicts they should overturn, whereas strongly non-hydrostatic waves, which are modulationally unstable, break below the overturning level predicted by linear theory.

SOLITARY WAVES IN MARANGONI-BENARD CONVECTING FLUID

In this paper the evolution of nonlinear long surface waves in a Marangoni-Bénard convecting fluid is considered. The fluid system is bounded below by an isothermic plane and above a free deformable surface, on which a heat flux is fixed. We show that the nonlinear behavior of the long surface wave is governed by the Korteweg-de Vries equation when the Rayleigh number is near its critical value. A head-on collision between two solitary waves traveling from opposite directions is also investigated by use of the Poincaré-Lighthill-Kuo method. The results show that the solitary waves emerging from the collision can preserve their original identities to the second order. The phase shifts due to the collision are calculated analytically.

Resonant excitation and nonlinear evolution of waves in the equatorial waveguide in the presence of the mean current

We study interactions of planetary waves propagating across the equator with trapped Rossby or Yanai modes, and the mean flow. The equatorial waveguide with a mean current acts as a resonator and responds to planetary waves with certain wave numbers by making the trapped modes grow. Thus excited waves reach amplitudes greatly exceeding the amplitude of the incoming wave. Nonlinear saturation of the excited waves is described by an amplitude equation with one or two attracting equilibrium solutions. In the latter case spatial modulation leads to formation of characteristic defects in the wave field. The evolution of the envelopes of long trapped Rossby waves is governed by the driven complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, and by the damped-driven nonlinear Schr?dinger equation for short waves. The envelopes of the Yanai waves obey a simple wave equation with cubic nonlinearity.     

Nonlinear instability of charged liquid jets: Effect of interfacial charge relaxation

A linear and nonlinear study has been made of cylindrical interface, carrying a uniform surface charge in the presence of a finite rate of charge relaxation, is investigated by using multiple scales method. The linear stability flow is analyzed by deriving a dispersion relation for the growth waves, and solving it analytically and numerically to find marginal stability curves. We investigate the electric charge relaxation effects on the stability of the flow by considering various limiting cases. We also examine the effects of finite charge relaxation times in axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric modes. In the nonlinear approach, it is shown that the evolution of the amplitude is governed by a Ginzburg–Landau equation. There is also obtained a nonlinear modified Schrödinger equation describing the evolution of wave packets for small charge relaxation time. Further, the classic Schrödinger equation is obtained when the influence of relaxation time charge is neglected. On the other hand, the complex amplitude of quasi-monochromatic standing waves near the cutoff wavenumber is governed by a similarly type of nonlinear Schrödinger equation in which the roles of time and space are interchanged. This equation makes it possible to estimate the nonlinear effect on the cutoff wavenumber. The nonlinear theory, when used to investigate the stability of charged liquid jet, appears accurately to predict a new unstable regions. The effects of the surface charge and charge relaxation on the stability are identified. The various stability criteria are discussed both analytically and numerically and the stability diagrams are obtained.
