Vv. Krotov, MULTISTEP DROPS AND BUBBLES - ANALYSIS OF A LIMITING SOLUTION OF THE LAPLACE EQUATION, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 57(4), 1995, pp. 471-475
Complete solution of the Laplace equation is analyzed for a surface of
revolution separating the phases in a gravitational field. The soluti
on is considered in the approximation when the radius of curvature of
the pendant and sessile drops at their tops, which cross the axis, is
small compared to the Laplacian capillary constant.
