Abstract

The main characteristics of the non-axisymmetric oscillations of a liquid bridge have been considered: free frequencies, deformation modes and the influence of an outer liquid. Oscillations of this kind do not show stability changes.

The Plateau technique has been used to obtain the resonant frequencies of the bridge when lateral perturbations are imposed. The results obtained are in good agreement with the theoretical ones when the influence of the outer liquid is considered. Moreover, lateral oscillations observed in experiments performed with liquid bridges in space can be explained with this model.
