Conservation laws for liquid bridges
Abstract
Conservation laws for an inviscid liquid bridge set in motion by conservative forces are given in integral form. The overall motion of the bridge in the presence of unexpected or uncontrolled disturbances can be monitored in a computational solution of the problem as an accuracy check. The existence of conserved properties not deductible in the classical way is revealed. Although the analysis concerns the case of axial and constant gravity it can be applied, with minor refinements, when the gravity field varies with time in both direction and intensity.
