Up to our knowledge this is the first experimental study of undular bores in a circular channel.

An excellent agreement between the experiment and simulation has been achieved.

For the experiment, eight unevenly distributed ultrasonic distance sensors measure the local height of the wave surface. The resonance curves show maxima only for odd multiples of the fundamental resonance frequency . We explained this behavior using a simple intuitive "ping-pong" like model. Collision of wave fronts can be observed for higher frequencies. Also, the wave reflection on the walls can be treated as wave collision with itself. The non-linearity seems to be weak in our study so the delay in the wave propagation before and after the collision is small. Time-space plots show localized propagating waves with high amplitudes for frequencies near resonance. Between the peaks low amplitude and harmonic patterns are observed. However, for higher frequencies, the frequency band for localized waves becomes wider. In the Fourier space-time plane, this can be observed as a point for the harmonic patterns or a superposition of two lines: one line parallel to wave-vector k axis corresponding to the excitation frequency and a second line with inclination given by wave propagation velocity . For planned future work, this result will help us to reconstruct the whole water surface elevation using time-series from only a few measurement points}, language = {en} } @misc{SchoenBestehorn, author = {Sch{\"o}n, Franz-Theo and Bestehorn, Michael}, title = {Instabilities and pattern formation in viscoelastic fluids}, series = {The European Physical Journal Special Topics}, volume = {Vol. 232}, journal = {The European Physical Journal Special Topics}, number = {4}, issn = {1951-6401}, doi = {10.1140/epjs/s11734-023-00792-x}, pages = {375 -- 383}, language = {en} } @misc{SchoenHarlanderBorciaetal., author = {Sch{\"o}n, Franz-Theo and Harlander, Uwe and Borcia, Ion Dan and Borcia, Rodica and Bestehorn, Michael}, title = {Mean fluid transport in an oscillating circular channel with asymmetric forcing}, series = {Water waves : an interdisciplinary journal}, volume = {2025}, journal = {Water waves : an interdisciplinary journal}, publisher = {Birkh{\"a}user, part of Springer Nature}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2523-3688}, doi = {10.1007/s42286-025-00121-w}, pages = {1 -- 21}, abstract = {We investigate surface waves in an oscillating circular channel with local topography. The focus is on spatially or temporally breaking this dynamic system's symmetry. Asymmetrical wave dynamics and a mean flux excitation are detected to varying degrees, depending on the two input parameters, fluid depth and the tank's oscillation frequency. The fluid resonates around multiples of the fundamental eigenfrequency of the channel. The development of solitary wave-trains (undular bores) is observed in these resonance bands. A particle image velocimetry system measures the velocity field in the vertical plane of the free surface flow. Moreover, we are using 17 evenly distributed ultrasonic sensors to measure the surface displacement. This makes it possible to find out how strongly the mean flux depends on the resonance frequencies and to study the influence of the surface waves on the symmetry breaking. A numerical long-wave model helps to isolate the various factors influencing the mean flux.}, language = {en} }
