Observation of water surface wave localization in a trough with periodic sidewalls

We demonstrate the localization of water surface waves and its evolution by introducing a defect into a trough with periodic sidewalls. Taking the advantage of water wave visualization, we observed a defect mode arising in the forbidden band and its formation process, that the water waves gradually...
