Abstract
This work discusses the role of gravity on the shape of interfacial waves between miscible liquids under horizontal vibrations. A big difference in the shape of an interfacial pattern has recently been observed in low-gravity experiments when compared to earth-based one. The evolution of an interfacial pattern from zero to normal gravity is discussed in the context of non-linear simulations in a confined system. The development of vibration-induced frozen waves with gravity is characterized by three distinct regimes that are associated with the wave height and the angle at the vertices of saw-tooth shape of the interface.
