Surface Waves in a Liquid with Elliptical Confinement
Abstract
Inviscid surface waves in cylindrical containers with elliptical crosssection are studied in detail. A complete characterization of the velocity potential and the amplitude of the liquid surface is given in terms of Mathieu functions. Our numerical results show the dependence of the natural frequencies on the fluid properties and the eccentricity e of the container cross-section. The evolution of the nodal structure for gravity-capillary waves is modulated by changing e.
