Abstract

The response of a viscous liquid layer around a center-core to axial excitation has been determined analytically. For a simplified analytical treatment the no-slip condition at the top and the bottom of the liquid column had to be abandoned while the normal condition could be satisfied. The free liquid surface elevation, the radial- and axial velocity distribution have been presented for various surface tension parameters σa/ρv3, aspect ratios h/a and at various locations inside and along the liquid bridge as functions of the forcing frequency parameter Ω a2/ν. It could be noticed that due to viscosity the resonance amplitudes are finite and that the lowest resonance is sharply tuned.
