Abstract

A quantitative study of some nonlinear aspects of drop-shape oscillations in a liquid–liquid system has been completed. The results suggest a soft nonlinearity in the fundamental resonant mode frequency as the oscillation amplitude is increased. Indications of an increase in the rate of decay have also been obtained. A study of the internal flow fields has revealed patterns of circulation not present at low amplitude.
