Oscillations of liquids in single-outlet vessels

Kubie, J

Abstract

This paper considers the oscillatory behaviour of liquids in single-outlet vessels, i.e. vessels in which the outflowing liquid is replaced by another fluid which enters the vessel through the same opening. A theoretical model is developed and an equation for the natural frequency of oscillations obtained. The model is in good agreement with the available experimental data. It is shown that the natural oscillations of the liquid govern the hydrodynamic processes involved.
