%{ # Free-surface waves with two fluids: gravity and surface tension This is basically the same thing than [free_surface_gravity.m]() but here there are two fluids on top of each other, so this is a little more complicated, but we do not have to neglect the density of the top fluid so this is more general. Technically it works like that, we build two dynamic systems for the two fluid layers with different physical properties, then we need to connect this two fluid layers through the moving interface. We take a very low viscosity because we will compare with a theory for a perfect fluid. %} clear all; clf; alpha=1.4; % wavenumber in x g=1; % gravity sigma=0.1; % surface tension % for domain 1 (top) N1=50; % number of gridpoints L1=1; % Fluid height in y rho1=1; % fluid density mu1=0.00001; % fuid viscosity % for domain 2 (bottom) N2=50; % number of gridpoints L2=1; % Fluid height in y rho2=0.5; % fluid density mu2=0.00001; % fuid viscosity % domain 1 % differentiation matrices scale=-2/L1; [y,DM] = chebdif(N1,2); D=DM(:,:,1)*scale; DD=DM(:,:,2)*scale^2; y1=(y-1)/scale+L2; I1=eye(N1); Z1=zeros(N1,N1); % renaming the matrices dy1=D; dyy1=DD; dx1=i*alpha*I1; dxx1=-alpha^2*I1; Delta1=dxx1+dyy1; % domain 2 % differentiation matrices scale=-2/L2; [y,DM] = chebdif(N2,2); D=DM(:,:,1)*scale; DD=DM(:,:,2)*scale^2; y2=(y-1)/scale; I2=eye(N2); Z2=zeros(N2,N2); % renaming the matrices dy2=D; dyy2=DD; dx2=i*alpha*I2; dxx2=-alpha^2*I2; Delta2=dxx2+dyy2; %{ # System matrices The motion of each fluid is described by the Navier-Stokes equations and continuity, linearized about a zero base flow, here written in a matrix form $$ e_1q_{1t}=a_1q_1 $$ for the top fluid and $$ e_2q_{2t}=e_2q_2 $$ for the bottom fluid. We also have $$ \eta_t=v_1(0) $$ for the advection of the interface by the velocity next to the interface. Note that we could have as well written $\eta_t=v_2(0)$ since anyway we will see for the boundary conditions that $v$ is continuous across the interface so $v_1(0)=v_2(0)$. The total state of the system is now called $q$ $$ q=\left(\begin{array}{c} q_1 \\ q_2 \\ \eta \end{array}\right) $$ with all the information: both of the top and bottom fluids and the interface position $\eta$. Thus the system is $Eq_t=Aq$ with $$ E=\left(\begin{array}{ccc} \rho&0&0\\ 0&\rho&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}\right) , \quad A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc} e1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & e2 & 0\\ I_{v_1(0)} & 0 & 0\\ \end{array}\right) $$ where $I_{v_1(0)}$ is the vector that multiplied by $q_1$ gives the value of $v_1$ at the interface (at $y=0$). This way we have in the dynamics the motion fo fluids 1 and 2, and the motion of the interface. Here a little discussion on the different ways to build a matrix. What we have used here is a way to build the matrices by stacking blocks together. The function *blkdiag* means "block diagonal", it build a larger matrices by stacking the input matrix arguments together to build a block diagonal matrix as output. An other way is like is done below for *a1* and *a2* is by concatenation of the differentiation matrices, the matrix full of zeros *Z* and the identity matrix *I*. We can also access the elements of the big matrix using the indices of submatrices. In most of the codes we use also this, especially for the boundary conditions. So we build here the vectors of indices that correspond in the big matrix to the different components of the state: *u1=1:N1* means that the *u* velocity of the fluid 1 is stored on the elements from 1 to *N1* of the state $q$, and so on. Then we see also that the position $\eta$ of the interface is the last element of the state $q$. So this is why when we want to insert the connection between $\eta$ and the vertical velocity at the bottom of fluid 1, we write > *A(eta,v1(1))=1;* We will make use even more of these vectors of indices when implementing the boundary conditions below. %} % location vectors u1=1:N1; v1=u1+N1; p1=v1+N1; u2=p1(end)+(1:N2); v2=u2+N2; p2=v2+N2; eta=p2(end)+1; % System matrices a1=[mu1*Delta1, Z1, -dx1; ...

Thus the pressure constraint across the interface becomes $$ [p_1(0)-\rho_1 g\eta]-[p_2(0)-\rho_2 g\eta]=-\sigma\alpha^2\eta $$ %} % boundary conditions dir=[u1(end),v1(end),u2(1),v2(1)]; % no-slip at both walls loc=[dir,u1(1),v1(1),u2(end),v2(end)]; II=eye(3*N1+3*N2+1); C=[II(dir,:); ... % no-slip at walls II(v1(1),:)-II(v2(end),:); ... % continuity of v across interface II(u1(1),:)-II(u2(end),:); ... % continuity of u across interface (II(p1(1),:)-rho1*g*II(eta,:))-(II(p2(end),:)-rho2*g*II(eta,:))+sigma*alpha^2*II(eta,:); ... % Continuity of pressure mu1*(dy1(1,:)*II(u1,:)+dx1(1,:)*II(v1,:))-mu2*(dy2(end,:)*II(u2,:)+dx2(end,:)*II(v2,:))]; % continuity of shear stress E(loc,:)=0; A(loc,:)=C; % compute eigenmodes [U,S]=eig(A,E); s=diag(S); [t,o]=sort(-real(s)); s=s(o); U=U(:,o); rem=abs(s)>1000; s(rem)=[]; U(:,rem)=[]; %{ # validation Now we are in an unstable configuration with the top fluid heavier than the bottom fluid, so the least stable eigenmode should be purely real (no oscillations), and positive (amplitude growing in time).
