Abstract:In our solution, we try to investigate the origin of the force that propels the Helmholtz Carousel. We build a theoretical model from the fundamental hydrodynamics. As the propelling force is in fact a nonlinear effect, we examine the nonlinear terms with care. The nonlinear terms in our equation corresponding to two origins of the force: one origins from the nonlinearity of the impedance, the other origins from nonlinear "restoring force". We will prove that the true origin of the force effect is the nonlinea… Show more
