a, b Schematic diagram of the definition of the defect position. a u-axial component. b Angle ϕ. c, d Experimental results and numerical prediction of the defect position for various parameters α. c Absolute value of u-component. d Angle ϕ. The blue and red lines represent the experimental results (mean ± standard error) and the numerical prediction, respectively. e, f Standard deviations of e ∣u∣ and f ϕ.
