  • Stabilization of uni-directional water wave trains over an uneven bottom
    Nonlinear Dynamics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Andrea Armaroli, Alexis Gomel, Amin Chabchoub, Maura Brunetti, Jérôme Kasparian
    Abstract:

    We study the evolution of nonlinear surface gravity water wave packets developing from modulational instability over an uneven bottom. A nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with coefficients varying in space along propagation is used as a reference model. Based on a low-Dimensional Approximation obtained by considering only three complex harmonic modes, we discuss how to stabilize a one-Dimensional pattern in the form of train of large peaks sitting on a background and propagating over a significant distance. Our approach is based on a gradual depth variation, while its conceptual framework is the theory of autoresonance in nonlinear systems and leads to a quasi-frozen state. Three main stages are identified: amplification from small sideband amplitudes, separatrix crossing and adiabatic conversion to orbits oscillating around an elliptic fixed point. Analytical estimates on the three stages are obtained from the low-Dimensional Approximation and validated by NLSE simulations. Our result will contribute to understand the dynamical stabilization of nonlinear wave packets and the persistence of large undulatory events in hydrodynamics and other nonlinear dispersive media.

  • Drop Formation in a One-Dimensional Approximation of the Navier-Stokes Equation
    Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1994
    Co-Authors: Jens Eggers, Todd F. Dupont
    Abstract:

    We consider the viscous motion of a thin, axisymmetric column of fluid with a free surface. A one-Dimensional equation of motion for the velocity and the radius is derived from the Navier-Stokes equation. We compare with recent experiments on the breakup of a liquid jet and on the bifurcation of a drop suspended from an orifice. The equations form singularities as the fluid neck is pinching off. The nature of the singularities is investigated in detail.
