| contents | Dilatational and shear surface viscosities are highly correlated parameters, making their individual contributions difficult to disentangle in Stokes flow, linearised flow models, or two-dimensional flows. We therefore investigate the three-dimensional interfacial standing waves as a means to decouple the influence of dilatational and shear surface viscosities. Two dimensionless controlling parameters are introduced: $Bq$, the total Boussinesq number, which quantifies the the relative importance of surface viscous stresses compared with bulk viscous stresses, and $\tan χ$, which quantifies the ratio of surface dilatational viscosity to surface shear viscosity. The growth rates and threshold accelerations are independent of $χ$, consistent with previous theoretical predictions. Nonlinear analyses of square and hexagonal patterns reveal that Fourier decomposition of wave-patterns can effectively decouple the intricate dynamics into axial modes, where the waves are weakly dependent on $χ$, and oblique modes, where additional damping occurs in the shear surface viscous dominant interface. These results demonstrate that Faraday wave-patterns provide a route for identifying and quantifying the distinct roles of dilatational and shear surface viscosities. |
