Parametric excitation of a gravity–capillary wave by radiation pressure of ultrasound
Résumé
Parametric instability of a standing gravity–capillary wave is observed in conditions of irradiation of a surface of a liquid by a plane ultrasound beam modulated by amplitude. A threshold value of ultrasound intensity for excitation of the parametric oscillations of the surface is determined, and the frequency response of the process is measured. A mechanism of instability based on sound radiation pressure applied to a liquid surface curved with menisci is suggested.
