Hydrodynamic Resistance on Oscillating Planar Interfacial Bodies
Ian Ho, Ajay Harishankar Kumar, Daniel M. Harris
We study the unsteady dynamics of floating planar bodies undergoing lateral oscillations along an air-water interface. Scaling arguments indicate that at high Womersley number and…
Vertical motion of a periodically driven floating disc
Anand U. Oza, Jack-William Barotta, Eli Silver +1
We present the results of a combined theoretical and experimental investigation into the vertical dynamics of floating discs subjected to an imposed time-periodic forcing. The axis…
Propulsion and interaction of wave-propelled interfacial particles
Daniel M. Harris, Jack-William Barotta
When a floating body is internally or externally vibrated, its self-generated wavefield can lead to steady propulsion along the interface. In this article, we review several relate…
FIEVel: A Fast InExpensive Velocimeter based on an optical mouse sensor
Robert Hunt, Eli Silver, Daniel M. Harris
Fluid velocimetry is fundamental to a breadth of applications spanning academia and industry, however velocimetry at high temporal resolution is often prohibitively costly. Here, w…
