Liquid droplet oscillations in an acoustic levitator

A liquid droplet levitated by an acoustic standing wave is set into resonance by an alternating field. Two resonance modes are observed, namely, (i) planar peripheral "star-shape" and (ii) out-of-plane bending of the equatorial plane. The more viscous the liquid, th...
