Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 2650–2653 (1991)Particle transport by angular momentum on three-dimensional standing surface wavesReceived 13 March 1991; published in the issue dated 4 November 1991 The transport of fluid particles on three-dimensional standing surface waves is studied by the inviscid irrotational theory. When two internally resonant modes are excited simultaneously, a second-order vortical drift velocity emerges on the surface proportional to the angular momentum. Particles can move periodically, quasiperiodically, or chaotically over a wide distance, depending on the size of the container. The theory presented is applied to the smallest system, having a transport effect that has been discovered in capillary-wave experiments. © 1991 The American Physical Society URL:
