Natural oscillations of sessile drops with a free or pinned contact line in different gravity environments are studied based on a linear inviscid irrotational theory. The inviscid Navier–Stokes equations and boundary conditions are reduced to a functional eigenvalue problem by the normal-mode decomposition. We develop a boundary element method model to numerically solve the eigenvalue problem for predicting the natural frequencies. Emphasis is placed on the frequency shifts of modes due to gravity for a wide range of contact angles $\alpha$ and Bond numbers $Bo$ . Three types of $\alpha$ – $Bo$ diagrams reflecting how gravity shifts the frequency are identified. Specifically, the frequency of zonal modes shifts downwards (upwards) when $\alpha$ is smaller (larger) than a critical value, while the frequencies of most sectoral modes are shifted downwards regardless of $\alpha$ . As a result, gravity can transform the lowest mode from a zonal mode to a sectoral mode. The spectral degeneracy of hemispherical drops inherited from the Rayleigh–Lamb spectrum is also broken by gravity. However, we discover that gravity has no effect on the mode associated with the horizontal motion of the centre of mass, whose frequency is always zero regardless of $\alpha$ and $Bo$ . This implies that the ‘walking’ drop instability reported in previous literature does not exist.

Despite the widespread occurrence of pendant drops in nature, there is still a lack of combined studies on their dynamic and static stability. This study focuses on the dynamic and static stability of elongated drops with either a free or pinned contact line on a plane. We first examine static stability for both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric perturbations subject to volume or pressure constraints. The stability limits for volume and pressure disturbances (axisymmetric) correspond to the maximum volume and pressure of the drops, respectively. Drops with free contact lines are marginally stable to non-axisymmetric perturbations because of their horizontal translational invariance, whereas pinned drops are stable. The linear dynamic stability is then investigated numerically through a boundary element model, restricted to volume disturbances. Results show that when the stability limit is reached, the first zonal mode has a zero frequency, suggesting that the thresholds for static and dynamic stability are essentially equivalent. Furthermore, natural frequencies experience sharp changes as the stability limit is approached. Another zero frequency mode associated with the horizontal motion of the centre of mass is also revealed by the numerical results, reflecting the horizontal translational invariance of drops with free contact lines. Finally, the frequency spectrum modified by gravity is explored, resulting in the identification of five gravity-induced frequency shift patterns. The frequency shifts break the spectral degeneracy for hemispherical drops with free contact lines, leading to various spectral orderings according to polar and azimuthal wavenumbers.

“…Поведение пузырька в жидкости под действием ультразвука (УЗ) активно изучается на протяжении последних десятилетий ввиду большого количества эффектов, возникающих как на поверхности пузырька, так и в объеме жидкости или вблизи твердой поверхности [1]. В акустическом поле ультразвуковой волны на воздушные пузырьки действуют силы Бьеркнеса, которые приводят к пульсациям поверхности пузырька (первичная сила) и его поступательному движению в пространстве (вторичная сила), что, в частности, приводит к коалесценции пузырьков и ультразвуковой дегазации жидкости [2].…”
