Abstract

Oscillatory dynamics of the liquid-liquid interface in a straight slot channel is studied experimentally. We use fluids with a large difference in viscosity and similar densities. The experimental conditions are chosen in such a way that the oscillating motion of a low-viscosity liquid is inviscid, and the oscillating motion of viscous liquid obeys Darcy’s law. At the beginning of the experiment, the interface is oriented perpendicular to the channel axis. It is found that the interface takes a shape of a symmetric hill curved towards a viscous liquid under liquid oscillations. The equilibrium interface shape (the hill height) is determined by the amplitude of the interface oscillations.
