Abstract
The influence of different body forces on the frequencies of the oscillatory regime in liquid bridges of molten silicone is studied. To do so, three different gravity levels are applied: the first related with Earth gravitational acceleration, the second with International Space Station reboosting maneuvers and the third with zero gravitational acceleration. In addition, different Marangoni numbers are considered in order to compare the influence of bulk body forces on them. Finally, a short study of the possible impact of the relationship between length and diameter of a liquid bridge on the number of instability modes is presented.
