Suppression of Intense Fluid Oscillations by a Floating Particle Layer

摘要

The results of the experiments on the influence of a positive-buoyancy-particle layer on the process of breaking and regularization of the standing gravity Faraday wave on free water surface in a rectangular vessel are discussed. The effect of increase in the particle layer thickness on the limit steepness of the regular wave and its dissipative properties is considered. It is shown that the use of highly concentrated polystyrene particle suspension as the upper layer modifies significantly the barotropic wave mode dynamics and ensures regularization of the waves with total suppression of their breaking mechanisms.
