Tractor beam on the water surface
Horst Punzmann, Nicolas Francois, Hua Xia +2
Can one send a wave to bring an object from a distance? The general idea is inspired by the recent success in moving micro particles using light and the development of a tractor be…

Three-dimensional fluid motion in Faraday waves: creation of vorticity and generation of two-dimensional turbulence
N. Francois, H. Xia, H. Punzmann +2
We study the generation of 2D turbulence in Faraday waves by investigating the creation of spatially periodic vortices in this system. Measurements which couple a diffusing light i…

Taylor particle dispersion during transition to fully developed two-dimensional turbulence
H. Xia, N. Francois, H. Punzmann +1
We report new measurements of single particle dispersion in turbulent two-dimensional (2D) flows. Laboratory experiments in electromagnetically driven and Faraday wave driven turbu…
