Dynamic behavior of liquid free surface in a cylindrical container subject to vertical vibration
Abstract
This paper reports a series of experimental studies on the dynamic behavior of the gas-liquid interface. These studies are concerned with the liquid sloshing phenomena induced by vertical vibration of a cylindrical container containing a liquid. The disappearance of the harmonic surface wave motion, the formation of 1/2-subharmonic motion, the mechanism of the surface disintegration and the behavior of spray-excited low frequency waves are investigated. The effect of the liquid height in the container on the surface disintegration was a decrease in the threshold excitation amplitude for the disintegration with an increase in liquid height. Spray-excited low frequency waves were observed over a wide range of excitation frequencies. It was also found that a violet surface agitation might occur due to a bubble cluster formed by the air injection, although the excitation acceleration was relatively low.
