Surface wave scattering by a vertical vortex and the symmetry of the Aharonov-Bohm wave function

Vivanco F.; Melo F.; Coste, C; Lund F.

Abstract

Surface waves interacting with a vertical vortex are studied both analytically and experimentally. There are similarities as well as differences with the Aharonov-Bohm effect: among the former, a dislocation in the wave fronts that is proportional to the vortex circulation, and among the latter, a significant change in the symmetry of the scattered wave. © 1999 The American Physical Society.
