Surface waves on levitating liquid
Abstract eng: Under earth conditions, water surface waves of wavelength larger than few centimeters are usually dominated by gravity. We present an experimental way to obtain steady levitated liquid puddles that can be used to observe quasi one-dimensional capillary waves at the centimeter scale. Two modes of waves are observed: first linear and non-linear gravity-capillary waves, including capillary solitons, as well as sloshing modes of the levitated puddle. Moreover, we show how various experimental geometry can be used to tune the influence of gravity on the wave propagation.
