Abstract:

Travelling axisymmetric solitary waves on the surface of a cylindrical ferrofluid jet are investigated. An azimuthal magnetic field is generated by an electric current flowing along a stationary metal rod, which is mounted along the axis of the moving jet. A numerical method is used to compute fully nonlinear travelling solitary waves. Comparisons with weakly nonlinear theories such as KdV, and experiments are presented.
