Abstract
We present experimental observations of the Faraday instability when an air/water interface is split over a network of small triangular cells for exciting frequencies in the range 10 ≤ f ≤ 30 Hz. Just above the threshold for instability, waves appear on the water surfaces within all individual cells. After a transient state, adjacent cells progressively synchronize and self-organize to produce a regular pattern covering the whole grid. Collective cell behaviour is seen to lead to four different patterns depending on the forcing frequency range. Beyond ≈28 Hz, adjacent cells no longer interact as the vibration wavelength becomes smaller than half the altitudes of the triangular cells and so the waves remain constrained within individual cells in the form of localized harmonic oscillons.
