Abstract
Time-harmonic and periodically modulated swirling waves can be excited in an upright circular tank undergoing periodic oscillations in a single degree-of-freedom. The swirling direction is determined by the initial condition. While the time-harmonic swirling waves can reach steady state after the initial buildup, the periodically modulated swirling waves switch back and forth between planar waves and swirling waves.
