Abstract

We have discovered a peculiar behaviour of the interface between two miscible liquids placed in a finite-size container under horizontal vibration. We provide evidence that periodic wave patterns created by the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability and Faraday waves simultaneously exist in the same system of miscible liquids. We show experimentally in reduced and normal gravity that large-scale frozen waves yield Faraday waves with a smaller wavelength on a diffusive interface. The emergence of the different scale patterns observed in the experiments is confirmed numerically and explained theoretically.
