Influence of Vertical Vibration on Surface Velocity of a Liquid Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the vertical vibration influence on the surface velocity of a 5cSt silicone oil liquid bridge has been investigated numerically. The Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the energy conservation equation are solved on a staggered grid, and the two-phase surface is captured by using the mass conserving level set method. The present results indicate that the axial and radial surface velocities of the liquid bridge are suppressed by the external vertical vibration.
