Thanks for responding! Sorry it took so long to respond as I have had to set the project aside for a short time. I'll be working on it here and there as my time permits. tech99: I haven't had a chance to read the paper in depth, but it looks promising. As for the wave height, I believe that...

Hello, Let's say I have an ideal cylindrical pool (rigid, vertical walls) of diameter d, with water of depth h. Take the ratio of d:h to be around 5:1 - 10:1. If I press down on the surface with a plunger of width w, I cause a standing wave resembling a single-node Bessel function, like a...

Thanks for your input. I understand that Faraday waves are generally produced by vibrating the container. Since there is no inertial forces involved, I am wondering if using the container frame would be equivalent to having the fluid move (though that would probably mean ALL of the fluid would...

Thanks again! I looked into Faraday waves, but not Faraday resonance. The effect generated in the video above very much mirrors the one generated in the pool with rigid sides, which leads me to believe that much approximation can be done without removing the desired effect. I need to study...

Thanks for your reply. The type of geometry is not exactly the same as shown in the video. In the case I am interested, it is a perfect cylinder with rigid walls.

I dropped the viscosity since it is on the order of 10-4 Pa*s and the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa and most resources have considered only inviscid fluids. I figured surface tension to contribute a bit more to the dampening since it is considered to be pretty strong in water. I am...

Hello, I am working on a solo project outside my domain of expertise (Physics PhD student). I am trying to analyze/replicate the wave phenomena shown in the following video: To summarize what I am doing: I need to analyze a simple (cylindrical) pool, say 17.5" wide, 4" deep Figure out how...

Yeah that's a good one. Thanks

This is what I was trying to avoid: a debate over semantics. While I appreciate your taking the time to read and think about my post, I ask only for replies which contain helpful information. I didn't want to create a long detailed first post, since I figured people would likely skip over it...

I know that. Excluding the string theory part, it should be pretty obvious what I am doing. If you have a suggestion then feel free to leave one, otherwise, please don't clog the thread.

I am currently compiling, solving, and adding complexities to problems involving strings in physics. The scope of my work covers basically everything: from introductory physics to string theory. I'm looking for any suggestions for problems and any way to add complexities to a given problem...
