Primary thermalisation mechanism of Early Universe observed from Faraday-wave scattering on liquid-liquid interfaces
Vitor S. Barroso, August Geelmuyden, Zack Fifer +4
For the past two hundred years, parametric instabilities have been studied in various physical systems, such as fluids, mechanical devices and even inflationary cosmology. It was n…
Magnetic Levitation Stabilized by Streaming Fluid Flows
K. A. Baldwin, J. -B. de Fouchier, P. Atkinson +3
We demonstrate that the ubiquitous laboratory magnetic stirrer provides a simple passive method of magnetic levitation, in which the so-called `flea' levitates indefinitely. We stu…
Mimicking inflation with 2-fluid systems in a strong gradient magnetic field
Zack Fifer, Theo Torres, Sebastian Erne +3
In the standard cosmological picture the Universe underwent a brief period of near-exponential expansion, known as Inflation. This provides an explanation for structure formation t…
The Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
Matthew M. Scase, Kyle A. Baldwin, Richard J. A. Hill
The effect of rotation upon the classical two-layer Rayleigh-Taylor instability is considered theoretically and compared with previous experimental results. In particular we consid…
Propulsion of a two-sphere swimmer
Daphne Klotsa, Kyle A. Baldwin, Richard J. A. Hill +2
We describe experiments and simulations demonstrating the propulsion of a neutrally-buoyant swimmer that consists of a pair of spheres attached by a spring, immersed in a vibrating…
Polygonal excitations of spinning and levitating droplets
R. J. A. Hill, L. Eaves
The shape of a weightless spinning liquid droplet is governed by the balance between the surface tension and centrifugal forces. The axisymmetric shape for slow rotation becomes un…
