Experimental determination of radiated internal wave power without pressure field data

Frank M. Lee, M. S. Paoletti, Harry L. Swinney +1

We present a method to determine, using only velocity field data, the time-averaged energy flux and total radiated power for two-dimensional inter…

Propagating and evanescent internal waves in a deep ocean model

M. S. Paoletti, Harry L. Swinney

We present experimental and computational studies of the propagation of internal waves in a stratified fluid with an exponential density profile that models the deep ocean. The buo…

Angular momentum transport and turbulence in laboratory models of Keplerian flows

M. S. Paoletti, Dennis P. M. van Gils, B. Dubrulle +3

We present angular momentum transport (torque) measurements in two recent experimental studies of the turbulent flow between independently rotating cylinders. In addition to these…

Measurement of angular momentum transport in turbulent flow between independently rotating cylinders

Matthew S. Paoletti, Daniel P. Lathrop

We present measurements of the angular momentum flux (torque) in Taylor-Couette flow of water between independently rotating cylinders for all regions of the $\(Ω_1, Ω_2\)$ paramet…

Reconnection Dynamics for Quantized Vortices

M. S. Paoletti, Michael E. Fisher, D. P. Lathrop

By analyzing trajectories of solid hydrogen tracers in superfluid He, we identify tens of thousands of individual reconnection events between quantized vortices. We characteriz…

Visualization of Superfluid Helium Flow

Matthew S. Paoletti, Ralph B. Fiorito, Katepalli R. Sreenivasan +1

We discuss an experimental technique to visualize the motion in the bulk of superfluid He by tracking micron-sized solid hydrogen tracers. The behavior of the tracers is comple…
