Abstract

An analysis of the small oscillation modes of rotating liquid bridges is carried out. The study is performed in the particular conditions when both surface and internal wave mode frequencies almost coincide for a certain meridional and azimuthal wave number. The critical values of the rotation speed and the natural frequencies for which this transitional condition takes place are obtained numerically as a function of the parameters characterizing the fluid configuration. The influence of both the outer bath and the liquid bridge equilibrium shape on the transition is analyzed. Analytical expressions providing the critical values of the rotation speed and the natural frequencies are obtained for cylindrical liquid bridges.
