Abstract

The dynamical behavior of fluids affected by the asymmetric gravity jitter oscillations, in particular, the effect of surface tension on partially-filled rotating fluids in a Dewar tank imposed by time-dependent directions of background reduced gravity accelerations is investigated. Results show that the greater the components of background reduced gravity in radial and circumferential directions, the greater will be the tendency toward increasing amplitude and degrees of asymmetry of the liquid-vapor interface profiles.
