Behavior of liquid drop situated between two oscillating planes

The levitation drop technique is widely used for the measurement of the surface tension and viscosity of liquids. An experiment with a drop situated between two horizontal rigid planes gives the same possibilities. The dynamic problem is solved numerically in the following cases: (1) the free oscillations of the drop when the plates are motionless; (2) the forced oscillations when the upper plate makes a translational vibration in the normal direction. The possibility of viscosity determination in such experiments is shown
