Abstract

The formation of sand ripples in oscillating flows is thought to be due to a steady streaming current which near the bottom is towards the crests. We present quantitative observations of this mean flow over self-formed and artificial ripples, by observing the displacement of a coloured filament after a number of oscillations in the simple situation of viscous Couette flow. Confusingly, the filament moves in the ‘wrong’ direction, because it follows the Lagrangian mean flow. We calculate the Lagrangian mean flow. A complication is that the amplitudes of the oscillations in the experiments are not small. We compare the predictions with the experimental observations of displacements of the filament, showing good agreement.
