Making standing waves

A standing wave is made by sending a wave group down the tank against a fixed wall. The reflected wave will superimpose upon the incident waves doubling the amplitude. As the wave maker imparts more energy in to the system, the amplitude increases. The waves are sustained by gravity and hydrostatic force and dissipated by fluid viscosity (the frictional forces against the wall are negligible). The video has been edited as the clopotis and seiche that occur last over a half hour and are eventually killed with the wave maker acting as an absorber, as it tries to produce waves offset by one half period of the waves hitting it.

Why is no one jumping in?

Get some dubstep in this bitch!

thanks for posting this!! looking at its formation is clearer to undertand

[wotsgonon1]

abyss!!

Is this a prototype test for a weapon to create tidal waves against Littoral regions. (Coast lines)?

Seem like it to me if they can make them stand they can propel them and make them keep coming.

Now think about this and how it relates to H.A.A.R.P. hmmmm....

Very interesting...Everything is frequency. Similar to the Time Wave Zero, fractal time, repeats itself and as it spirals towards zero point (2012), the wave compresses closer and closer together.

cool



[MrUNIXman]

cool very interesting, love to see this in wave pools.

sweet!

i can't believe this happened...
