Experimental investigation of the dispersion of Scholte-Stoneley waves on a periodically corrugated surface

摘要

The dispersion of the phase velocities of the Scholte-Stoneley waves on a periodically corrugated interface is experimentally investigated and presented. The Scholte-Stoneley waves are generated through diffraction of the incident bulk longitudinal waves in water on a solid-fluid (brass-water) interface with one-dimensional grooves. The diffractions resulting from both the incident longitudinal waves and the generated Scholte-Stoneley waves are experimentally detected in a polar scan. The extracted velocity-frequency curves first confirm that the incident bulk wave is not dispersive and further show that the Scholte-Stoneley wave generated on the periodic interface is also not dispersive, although the velocity-frequency curves have oscillatory features.
