Surface Oscillation of a Liquid Bridge Induced by Single and Multiple Vibrations

A three dimensional numerical model has been developed based on a level set algorithm to predict the surface oscillation behavior of a liquid bridge induced by single and multiple vibrations under space environment. By subjecting the liquid bridge to single lateral vibration, the surface resonance characteristics have been predicted numerically. Moreover, the controlling mechanism of the surface oscillation under multiple vibrations is also determined, and the results show the external vibrations at resonance frequency in lateral direction completely control the surface oscillation in horizontal direction.
