Abstract

A theoretical method is given for the determination of the shape of a fluid drop in steady and unsteady flows by making an expansion in terms of the drop deformation. Effects of fluid viscosity and interfacial tension are taken into account. Examples given include the determination of the shape of a drop in shear and in hyperbolic flow when each is started impulsively from rest.
