- Water tank
Material: Acrylic board Height: 59cm Width: 58cm Depth: 10cm - Working fluid
- Stratifield salt water.
- Visualization
- Moiré technique.
The vertical striped patterns with 1mm and1.1 mm intervals were used. The two patterns were placed 30cm apart.3)- Experimental process
- A 4cm diameter rod was hung by fishing line in the stratified fluid, and oscillated up and down. The waves thereby created were viewed from the side.
