Gravitational oscillations of a liquid column
arXiv:physics/0106096 · doi:10.1063/1.1476670
Abstract
We report gravity oscillations of a liquid column partially immersed in a bath of liquid. We stress in particular some peculiarities of this system, namely (i) the fact that the mass of this oscillator constantly changes with time; (ii) the singular character of the beginning of the rise, for which the mass of the oscillator is zero; (iii) the sources of dissipation in this system, which is found to be dominated at low viscosity by the entrance (or exit) effects, leading to a long-range damping of the oscillations. We conclude with some qualitative description of a second-order phenomenon, namely the eruption of a jet at the beginning of the rise.
