On the classification and asymptotic behavior of the symmetric capillary surfaces. (English) Zbl 1437.76012
Summary: We consider the symmetric solutions to the Young-Laplace equation, and its extensions past vertical points. We provide a classification of all symmetric solutions using certain families of parameters. This classification produces a unified approach to fluid interfaces in capillary tubes, sessile and pendent drops, liquid bridges, as well as exterior and annular capillary surfaces. The generating curves for symmetric solutions have asymptotes for large arclengths, and the behavior of these asymptotes is analyzed.
