Effect of wind turbulence on wave generation over a viscous liquid
Romain Mathis, Sébastien Cazin, Jeanne Methel +4
When wind blows over the surface of a viscous liquid, a clear transition from irregular small-amplitude streamwise-oriented wrinkles to well-defined nearly two-dimensional regular…
Ostwald-like ripening in the two-dimensional clustering of passive particles induced by swimming bacteria
Julien Bouvard, Frédéric Moisy, Harold Auradou
Clustering passive particles by active agents is a promising route for fabrication of colloidal structures. Here, we report the dynamic clustering of micrometric beads in a suspens…
Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and formation of viscous solitons on highly viscous liquids
Marine Aulnette, Jishen Zhang, Marc Rabaud +1
Viscous solitons are strongly non-linear surface deformations generated by blowing wind over a liquid beyond a critical viscosity. Their shape and dynamics result from a balance be…
Scaling of far-field wake angle of non-axisymmetric pressure disturbance
Frederic Moisy, Marc Rabaud
It has been recently emphasized that the angle of maximum wave amplitude in the wake of a disturbance of finite size can be significantly narrower than the maximum value $α_K =…
Inertial waves and modes excited by the libration of a rotating cube
J. Boisson, C. Lamriben, L. R. M. Maas +2
We report experimental measurements of the flow in a cubic container submitted to a longitudinal libration, i.e. a rotation modulated in time. Velocity fields in a vertical and a h…
Earth rotation prevents exact solid body rotation of fluids in the laboratory
J. Boisson, D. Cébron, F. Moisy +1
We report direct evidence of a secondary flow excited by the Earth rotation in a water-filled spherical container spinning at constant rotation rate. This so-called {\it tilt-over…
