The stability of pendent liquid drops. Part 2. Axial symmetry

Abstract: In a drop of liquid which hangs below a horizontal support or a t the end of a tube, the forces due to surface tension, pressure and gravity are in equilibrium. Amongst the many possible equilibrium shapes of the drop, only those which are stable occur naturally. The calculus of variations has been used to determine theoretically the stable equilibria, by calculating the energy change when the liquid in equilibrium experiences axially symmetrical perturbations under physically realistic constraints. If the ene… Show more

“…Suppose that we have parametrized our family of pendent drops satisfying ψ(s, R) -a by ε(ε > 0) where where V'(β) = 0 occurs after the appearance of an inflection point on the profile curves. As noted in the introduction, the following theorem was proven by E. Pitts [14] in the symmetric case. y(p, θ, ε) = κ(ε)x(p, θ, ε).…”
