Progressive Interfacial Waves

Progressive waves were simulated for some of the combinations of parameters used in chapter 7. Figures 8-1 - 8-10

show a progressive wave on a 256 by 256 site grid. The parameters used are tex2html_wrap_inline12755 , tex2html_wrap_inline12757 and tex2html_wrap_inline12193 . The difference between the interface shown here where tex2html_wrap_inline12111 and the interface of the standing waves shown in, for example figure 7-3, where tex2html_wrap_inline12417 can be seen. Here there is a definite region around the interface where there is a mixture of the two fluids. This can be see in figures 8-1 - 8-10 as the grey region around the interface. This region is not there in figure 7-3 where the interface is much sharper.
