Pattern formation in two-frequency forced parametric waves

Pattern formation in two-frequency forced parametric waves

We present an experimental investigation of superlattice patterns generated on the surface of a fluid via parametric forcing with two commensurate frequencies. The spatiotemporal behavior of four qualitatively different types of superlattice patterns is described in detail. These states are generated via a number of different three-wave resonant interactions. They …
