Abstract

The main effects on the dynamics of a liquid bridge due to the presence of an outer liquid, as occur in experiments using the Plateau-tank technique, are considered. The one-dimensional nonlinear model developed here allows us to perform the computation of both breaking processes and oscillatory motions of slender liquid bridges, although in this paper only the results concerning breaking processes are reported. Additionally, the oscillatory motions are studied both experimentally and by using a new linear model. Results from both sources show good agreement.
