Drop Gallery

paged annular drop Drop Gallery paged five-lobed drop

The pictures show some results of numerical experiments, mostly performed during my time at the Institut für Mathematik (RWTH Aachen). They show equilibrium figures of rotating drops. Unluckily, the shapes are all unstable so you will not meet such drops on the street.

The finite element simulation was based on ALBERT. The pictures were produced with (Geomview@SourceForge),
rendered with and post-processed with .
