Analysis of Asymptotic Solutions for Cusp Problems in Capillarity
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)The capillary surface $u(x,y)$ near a cusp region satisfies the boundary value problem: \begin{eqnarray} \nabla \cdot \frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1+\left|\nabla u \right|^2}}&=&\kappa u \qquad \textrm{in }\left\{(x,y): ... -
Floating Bodies with Surface Tension
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-18)Capillary phenomena have been studied by mathematicians and physicists for hundreds of years. In this thesis, both two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional(3D) bodies floating on an unbounded reservoir are studied based ...
