Abstract:The paper investigates the stability of the relative equilibrium of a bounded liquid layer on a flat solid rotating base. A uniform gravity field is oriented perpendicular to the solid surface and presses the droplet against it. The equilibrium shape and its perturbations are axisymmetric. The free surface is simply connected. The analysis is performed both for the case of the free contact line and for the case of the fixed one. The results obtained by these two models are compared, and the effect of the input… Show more
