Measurements of Surfactant Squeeze-out Using Magnetically-Levitated Liquid BridgesLiquid bridges: Columns of liquid supported by two solid surfaces. These are generally opposing right circular cylinders in 0g. For a cylindrical bridge of length L and diameter d, in zero g, the maximum slenderness ratio Lambda [L/d] = pi [Rayleigh]. In the presence of gravity the cylindrical shape of an axisymmetric bridge tends to deform. Fluid has a volumetric magnetic susceptibility X. Magnetic levitation has numerous applications in studies of fluids, "soft" and "hard" condensed matter physics, and biophysics
