Objectives Theoretical and experimental investigation of the stability of nonaxisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric bridges contained between equal and unequal radii disks as a function of Bond and Weber number with emphasis on the transition from unstable axisymmetric to stable nonaxisymmetric shapes.
Numerical analysis of the stability of nonaxisymmetric bridges between unequal disks for various orientations of the gravity vector.
Experimental and theoretical investigation of large (nonaxisymmetric) oscillations and breaking of liquid bridges.
