Mean Fluid Transport in an Oscillating Circular Channel with Asymmetric Forcing
摘要
We investigate surface waves in an oscillating circular channel with local topography. The focus is on spatially or temporally breaking this dynamic system’s symmetry. Asymmetrical wave dynamics and a mean flux excitation are detected to varying degrees, depending on the two input parameters, fluid depth and the tank’s oscillation frequency. The fluid resonates around multiples of the fundamental eigenfrequency
