It is expected to manufacture new materials with containerless processing by levitation technique. However, it is
indicated that the levitated droplet with levitation technique has nonlinear behavior. In this study, nonlinear bynamics of the levitated droplet is experimentally and analytically investigated. The levitation experiments with electrostatic levitator and the ultrasonic levitator are conducted under the normal gravity condition. Based on the experimental results,theoretical and numerical analyses are conducted to clarify the nonlinear dynamics of the levitated droplet. Furthermore,new technique to measure the viscosity in high viscosity region is proposed.
