An Experiment on the Surface Stability of a Liquid Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

A liquid bridge formed between two coaxial, circular, solid disks was vibrated to study the effects of small vibrations on the stability of a free surface of the liquid bridge. The liquid bridge was vibrated by tapping its upper disk and by using a motor placed nearby. Experiments were conducted for isothermal liquid bridges of silicone oil (5 cSt) with a disk diameter of 7.0 mm. By subjecting the liquid bridge to small vibrations, the characteristics of vibration-induced surface oscillation have been clearly determined.
