| Abstract: | The plane problem of determination of the natural frequencies of small oscillations of a viscous liquid rotating in a partially filled cylindrical vessel under conditions of weight-lessness is examined. If the angular velocity of vessel rotation is sufficiently low, surface forces acting on the liquid-gas boundary prove to be of the same order as the centrifugal forces and significantly affect the oscillatory frequencies. Asymptotic formulas expressing the dependence of the oscillatory frequencies on the parameters of the problem are obtained by the boundary layer method, with the assumption that the ratio of viscous to centrifugal forces is low.Khar'kov.
