On the shape of a lightweight drop on a horizontal plane    [PDF]

Amir H. Fatollahi

The shape of drop on a flat horizontal plane is obtained by including the first order of correction by the weight. The sphere solution of the weightless drop is used to introduce a new polar coordinate by which the perturbative expression for a region of a drop can be extended analytically to the entire surface of a drop having both the concave and the convex parts. Comparison with experimental data are presented.
