Equilibrium fluid interfaces in the absence of gravity
Abstract
Mathematical properties of capillary surfaces under zero gravity conditions are examined in the framework of the Laplace-Young theory, considering the equilibrium interface between a liquid and a gas or between two immiscible liquids for a cylindrical container of general cross section. The predicted liquid surface behavior is compared with the results obtained in a drop-tower experiment in the Zero-G Facility at the NASA Lewis Research Center.
