Consider the shape a Liquid drop assumes when placed on a smooth horizontal surface, as depicted in Fig. 3. The liquid drop's shape will be axisymmetric about the vertical u-axis and is such that the total energy of the drop is minimized. The two forms of energy associated with the liquid drop are:
Potential energy, arising from the gravitational field, given by:
Ep=0R[gr2u(r)u'(r)]dr
Surface energy, caused by surface tension at the liquid-gas interface, expressed as:
Es=0R[2r1+[u'(r)]22]dr
2
Here, is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity; u(r) is the vertical distance to the interface from the surface, is the surface tension (surface energy per unit area), and R is the base radius of the drop.
The objective is to determine the axisymmetric drop shape u(r) that minimizes the total energy E[u(r)], subject to a constraint. The constraint is that the total volume V of the liquid drop is fixed and given by:
V=0R[r2u(r)]dr
Additionally, the problem involves the following boundary conditions for u(r);
u(R)=0,u'(0)=0, and ,u'(R)=-tana
where is the contact angle.
Note that while only two boundary conditions are typically required, here, a third boundary condition is provided. This additional boundary condition can be used to determine the unknown base radius R of the bubble.
Derive the Euler equation that must be satisfied to minimize the total energy of the liquid drop, considering the given constraints and boundary conditions.
