Eigenfrequency of capillary liquid bridges

I would like to compute the eigenfrecuency of a capillary bridge.
In Comol 3.5a I used the Navier-Stokes equations in combination with the level set method for the implementation of surface tension effects. Starting with a cylindrical shape the time dependent calculation completed successfully until near equilibrium .
Unfortunately it does not seem possible to use an eigenfrequency analysis with that physical problem, because it is only available for structural mechanics or acoustic problems.? I tried to change the type of solver to "eigenfrequency", but still the solutions are not useful; e.g. the eigenfrequencies and the volume fractions become negative in some cases.

My question: Is there any possibility to get the eigenfrequencies of a capillary bridge, where surface tension is included as a dominant physical effect?
I need to include the Navier-Stokes equations as well as the mean curvature of the (actual deformed) surface geometry for the physical treatment. Comsol 4.0a is also available.
Thank you very much for your time.
