Validation of the LENT-SAAMPLE method with the large amplitude droplet oscillation experiments conducted by Trinh and Wang

The LENT-SAAMPLE method is validated using oscillations of droplets for which the amplitude cannot be considered small compared to the equivalent radius of the droplet. For the experiments, single silicone oil drops are suspended in water. Each drop is kept at a stable position using acoustic radiation pressure generated by an ultrasonic transducer. A second transducer is used to drive the droplet oscillations. Besides forced oscillations, the authors investigate the damping of free large amplitude oscillations (section 5 in (https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022112082002237)). In the following, we examine to what degree our LENT-SAAMPLE method is able to reproduce Trinh and Wang’s experimental results.
