Projectile motion of surface gravity water wave packets: An analogy to quantum mechanics (2101.05839v1)
Published 14 Jan 2021 in quant-ph and physics.flu-dyn
Abstract: We study phase contributions of wave functions that occur in the evolution of Gaussian surface gravity water wave packets with nonzero initial momenta propagating in the presence and absence of an effective external linear potential. Our approach takes advantage of the fact that in contrast to matter waves, water waves allow us to measure both their amplitudes and phases.
