Non-Monotonic Dispersion of Surface Waves in Magnetic Fluids

patt-sol 2009-10-30 v1 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

The dispersion relation of surface waves of a magnetic fluid in a magnetic field is studied experimentally. We verify the theoretically predicted existence of a non-monotonic dispersion relation. In particular, we demonstrate the existence of two different wave numbers occuring at the same frequency in an annular geometry.
