The Dynamics of Axisymmetric Slender Liquid Bridges between Unequal Disks
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the influence of an axial microgravity on the dynamic stability of axisymmetric slender liquid bridges between unequal disks is numerically studied by using a one-dimensional theory. The breaking of such liquid configurations is analyzed and the dependence of some overall characteristics of the breaking process on the value of axial microgravity, the geometry and the volume of the liquid bridge, as well as stability limits are obtained.

Stability Limits and Dynamics of Nonaxisymmetric Liquid Bridges
Liquid bridges have been the focus of numerous theoretical and experimental investigations since the early work by Plateau more than a century ago. More recently, motivated by interest in their physical behavior and their occurrence in a variety of technological situations, there has been a resurgence of interest in the static and dynamic behavior of liquid bridges. Furthermore, opportunities t...
متن کاملOn the breakup of slender liquid bridges: Experiments and a 1-D numerical analysis
Slender axisymmetric dielectric liquid bridges are made stable by the action of an axial electric field. In this paper, the subsequent dynamics of a slender liquid bridge after turning off the electric field is considered. The evolution in time of the bridge profile is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A one-dimensional model is used to simulate the dynamic response of the sys...
متن کاملOne-dimensional self-similar solution of the dynamics of axisymmetric slender liquid bridges
Liquid bridges appear in a large variety of industrial processes such as the so-called floating-zone technique, used in recent years in crystal growth and in purification of high-melting-point materials. In this paper the dynamics of axisymmetric, slender, viscous liquid bridges having volume close to the cylindrical one, and subjected to a small gravitational field parallel to the axis of the ...
متن کاملA Combined Experimental and Numerical Modeling Study of the Deformation and Rupture of Axisymmetric Liquid Bridges under Coaxial Stretching.
The deformation and rupture of axisymmetric liquid bridges being stretched between two fully wetted coaxial disks are studied experimentally and theoretically. We numerically solve the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations while tracking the deformation of the liquid-air interface using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) moving mesh method to fully account for the effects of inertia and v...
متن کاملWeak nonlinear coupling between epicyclic modes in slender tori
We examine nonlinear oscillations of slender tori in the vicinity of black holes and compact stars. These tori represent useful probes of the complicated, nonlinear dynamics of real accretion disks and provide at least qualitative understanding of their oscillations. We demonstrate that epicyclic modes of such tori are weakly coupled due to the pressure and gravitational forces. We explore all ...
