Acta Mechanica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary.

 The motion of a Newtonian liquid contained in an angulated tube, which oscillates under the effect of external stimulation and gravity, was studied. It was experimentally established that the one-dimensional theory developed in the present study predicts satisfactorily the meniscus position, for frequencies of oscillation below 0.5 Hz and tube radius above 2.5 mm.
