ABSTRACT
We explore the peculiar behaviour of an interface between two miscible liquids of similar (but non-identical) viscosities and densities under horizontal vibration with a frequency less than 25 Hz. Significant differences in the structure of the formed patterns were found between microgravity and ground experiments. In a gravity field, a spatially periodic saw-tooth frozen structure is generated in the interface which dissipates at long times. By contrast, under the low gravity conditions of a parabolic flight, the long lived pattern consists of a series of vertical columns of alternating liquids.
