Collective motion of multiple rafts on the Rayleigh-Benard convection
ORAL
Abstract
We observe the dynamics of rafts on the Rayleigh-Benard convection. A single raft motion shows at least three types of motions i.e. the linear, oscillatory, and random motions. The velocity of single raft fits with the gaussian distribution function. While the multiple rafts case show more complex motion, including the possibility of collective motion. We show that there is an indication of collective motion of multiple rafts as one of the law of motion in the Rayleigh-Benard convection.
