Equilibrium shapes of rotating spheroids and drop shape oscillations
Abstract
Recent work on the equilibrium shapes of a rotating spheroid and drop shape oscillations is reviewed. The related theoretical aspects of the equilibrium shapes of a rotating drop, the stability, shape oscillations, gravitational forces, and drop fission are examined. Experimental findings on figures of a rotating drop in an immiscible system, drop oscillations in an immiscible system, oscillations of a rotating drop, compound drop oscillations, and drop dynamics in space are addressed.
