Equilibrium fluid configurations in low gravity
Book information
Description
Article. / J. Appl. Phys., 1996, Vol. 79 (11), p. 8770–8782.An examination of the axisymmetric equilibrium configurations of fluid systems in cylindrical containers in an arbitrary gravity field has been undertaken. The derived theory allows the effects of gravity on an interface shape to be quantified. When these effects may be neglected, the resulting predictions for equilibrium are contrary to those of previous theories. The theoretical approach adopted herein leads to the prediction that the equilibrium configuration is dependent on the contact angle and on the amount of fluid in the container. These predictions have been examined through a series of experiments conducted in a drop shaft, and the results support the new theoretical approach.
