It has been seen that a standing wave can be initialised at the interface between two fluids. This can be done for a chosen wavelength and wave amplitude using the natural density gradient, correct for the values of being used. This method of initialisation does not require that any velocities or a frequency are imposed on the wave. This means that any measured quantity has arisen solely from the wave motion. Many standing waves have been simulated for different values of the wavelength , the gravitational strengths and , the density ratio f, the viscosity and the interface thicknesses l. The viscosity is varied through the relaxation time and the interface thickness is varied through the interfacial energy . The measured frequencies, damping constants and velocities were compared to the theoretical predictions. All the results for the frequency were found to be in good agreement with the theory; the damping constant was also seen to be in good agreement with the theory over a range of values where the theory is applicable. The measured velocities were also seen to agree well with theory.
