Abstract

The coupled natural frequency equation for rotating cylindrical liquid bridges of finite length consisting of one liquid or two immiscible liquids are presented. Various important cases such as a single liquid around a center core, two immiscible liquids in a completely filled circular cylindrical container, two immiscible liquids exhibiting besides the interface also an outer free surface have been treated. Natural frequencies and surface- and interface elevations have been treated numerically.
