The nonlinear dynamics of waves generated by the deformational oscillatory Marangoni instability in a two-layer film under the action of a spatial temperature modulation on the solid substrate is considered. A system of long-wave equations governing the deformations of the upper surface and the interface between the liquids is derived. The nonlinear simulations reveal the existence of numerous dynamical regimes, including two-dimensional stationary flows and standing waves, three-dimensional standing waves with different spatial periods, and three-dimensional travelling waves. The general diagram of the flow regimes is constructed.

A system of long-wave equations governing the deformations of the upper surface and the interface between the liquids is presented. The long-wave approach is applied. The nonlinear simulations reveal the existence of different dynamic regimes, including stationary, time-periodic and quasi-periodic flows. The general diagrams of the flow regimes are constructed.

We consider the problem of nonlinear convection in horizontal mushy layers during the solidification of binary alloys. We analyse the oscillatory modes of convection in the form of two- and three-dimensional travelling and standing waves. Under a near-eutectic approximation and the limit of large far-field temperature, we determine the solutions to the nonlinear problem by using a perturbation technique, and the stability of two- and three-dimensional solutions in the form of simple travelling waves, general travelling waves and standing waves is investigated. The results of the stability and the nonlinear analyses indicate that supercritical simple travelling rolls are stable over most of the studied range of parameter values, while supercritical standing rolls can be stable only over some small range of parameter values, where the simple travelling rolls are unstable. The results of the investigation of the onset of plume convection and chimney formation leading to the occurrence of freckles in the alloy crystal indicate that the chimney of the plume can be generated internally or near the lower boundary of the mushy layer. The roles of a Stefan number, a permeability parameter and a concentration ratio on the flow instability in both linear and nonlinear regimes are also determined.

AbstractThe stability of $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}\gamma _2$ travelling waves at the surface of a film flow down an inclined plane is considered experimentally and numerically. These waves are fast, one-humped and quasi-solitary. They undergo a three-dimensional secondary instability if the flow rate (or Reynolds number) is sufficiently high. Rugged or scallop wave patterns are generated by the interplay between a short-wave and a long-wave instability mode. The short-wave mode arises in the capillary region of the wave, with a mechanism of capillary origin which is similar to the Rayleigh–Plateau instability, whereas the long-wave mode deforms the entire wave and is triggered by a Rayleigh–Taylor instability. Rugged waves are observed at relatively small inclination angles. At larger angles, the long-wave mode predominates and scallop waves are observed. For a water film the transition between rugged and scallop waves occurs for an inclination angle around 12°.

Vibrations are often represented as a sum of standing waves in space, i.e. normal modes of vibration. While this can be mathematically accurate, the representation as travelling waves can be compact and more appropriate from a physical point of view, in particular when the energy flux along the structure is meaningful. The quantification of travelling waves assists in computing the energy being transferred and propagated along a structure. It can provide local as well as global information about the structure through which the mechanical energy flows. Presented in this paper is a new method to quantify the fraction of mechanical power being transmitted in a vibration cycle at a specific direction in space using measured data. It is shown that the method can detect local defects causing slight non-uniformity of the energy flux. Equivalence is being made with the electrical power factor and electromagnetic standing waves ratio, commonly employed in such cases. Other methods to perform experiment based wave identification in one-dimension are compared with the power flow based identification. Including a signal processing approach that fits an ellipse to the complex amplitude curve and Hilbert transform for obtaining the local phase and amplitude. A new representation of the active and reactive power flow is developed and its relationship to standing waves ratio is demonstrated analytically and experimentally.

We prove the existence of solitary wave solutions to the quasilinear Benney systemwhere , –1 < p < +∞ and a, γ > 0. We establish, in particular, the existence of travelling waves with speed arbitrarily large if p < 0 and arbitrarily close to 0 if . We also show the existence of standing waves in the case , with compact support if – 1 < p < 0. Finally, we obtain, under certain conditions, the linearized stability of such solutions.

The incompressible fluid flow in a rectangular container driven by two facing sidewalls which move steadily in anti-parallel directions is investigated experimentally for Reynolds numbers up to 1200. The moving sidewalls are realized by two rotating cylinders of large radii tightly closing the cavity. The distance between the moving walls relative to the height of the cavity (aspect ratio) is Γ = 1.96. Laser-Doppler and hot-film techniques are employed to measure steady and time-dependent vortex flows. Beyond a first threshold robust, steady, three-dimensional cells bifurcate supercritically out of the basic flow state. Through a further instability the cellular flow becomes unstable to oscillations in the form of standing waves with the same wavelength as the underlying cellular flow. If both sidewalls move with the same velocity (symmetrical driving), the oscillatory instability is found to be tricritical. The dependence on two sidewall Reynolds numbers of the ranges of existence of steady and oscillatory cellular flows is explored. Flow symmetries and quantitative velocity measurements are presented for representative cases.
