PDFAbstract: This paper deals with the mathematical study of the small oscillations of a system formed by a a cylindrical liquid column bounded by two parallel circular disks and an internal spherical bubble constitued by a barotropic gas, under zero gravity. From the equations of motion, the authors deduce a variational equation. Then the study of the small oscillations depends on the coerciveness of a hermitian form that appears in this equation. It is proved that this last problem is reduced to an auxiliary eigenvalue problem. A careful discussion shows that our problem is a classical vibration problem.
Keywords: Free Boundaries, small oscillations, variational methods.
