Dynamics and statics of nonaxisymmetric and symmetric liquid bridgesThis program of theoretical and experimental ground-based research focuses on the understanding of the dynamics and stability limits of nonaxisymmetric and symmetric liquid bridges. There are three basic objectives: First, to determine the stability limits of nonaxisymmetric liquid bridges held between non-coaxial parallel disks, Second, to examine the dynamics of nonaxisymmetric bridges and nonaxisymmetric oscillations of initially axisymmetric bridges. The third objective is to experimentally investigate the vibration sensitivity of liquid bridges under terrestrial and low gravity conditions. Some of these experiments will require a low gravity environment and the ground-based research will culminate in a definitive flight experiment.
