Equilibrium fluid interface behavior under low- and zero-gravity conditions. II

摘要

We describe here recent mathematical results that form the basis of our forthcoming space experiment, developed jointly with Mark Weislogel of NASA Lewis Research Center, which is scheduled for the Glovebox on the Mir 23 / NASA 4 Mission in December 1996. The mathematical basis for the Angular Liquid Bridge is described. The anticipated liquid behavior used in the apparatus is illustrated.
