Normal-mode-vortex interactions

Bernal, R; Coste, C; Lund F.; Melo F.

Abstract

The interaction of standing surface waves with vorticity of zero net circulation in a finite cavity was studied. It was shown that solutions for the normal modes of a cavity in the presence of localized, stationary solutions existed and these solutions were characterized analytically and experimentally. The surface waves were generated by vertical vibration and constant vorticity injection was obtained by a rotating disk flush mounted in the cell. The experimental results indicated that the interaction was local.
