Gas-liquid Interfacial Phenomena Produced by External Oscillating Forces

(Focused on Phenomena Observed in Liquid Sloshing and Magnetic Fluid Surface)

Abstract

This review describes the researches on flow phenomena at gas-liquid interface subjected to external oscillating force. Especially, surface disintegration, droplet formation, bubble cluster generation, and dynamic behaviour of bubbles in oscillating liquid container are described. And further, surface wave generation, liquid jet generation, jet breakup phenomena, droplet formation of magnetic fluid subjected to vertical vibration or alternating magnetic field are also described. These phenomena are related to interfacial instability of liquids subjected to external oscillating forces.
