Equilibrium distances for the capillary interaction between floating objects

چکیده
Small objects placed at the water–air interface undergo coexisting attraction and repulsion, causing an equilibrium distance for which a general equation is given.

Equilibrium Conditions for the Floating of Multiple Interfacial Objects
We study the effect of interactions between objects floating at fluid interfaces, for the case in which the objects are primarily supported by surface tension. We give conditions on the density and size of these objects for equilibrium to be possible and show that two objects that float when well-separated may sink as the separation between the objects is decreased. Finally, we examine the equi...
متن کاملComputing Signed Distances between Free-Form Objects
Given two sculptured objects, described b y a collection of rational Bkzier patches, we propose an algorithm that provides the distance between them i f the objects are not intersecting, or a measure of penetration otherwise. The algorithm extends the upper-lower bound subdivision approach to the computation of the nearest points by considering the relative orientations between the subdivided p...
متن کاملComputing Distances between NURBS-defined Convex Objects
Computing the distance between modelled objects is proving to be a fundamental operation for solving many problems in robotics and elsewhere. Most of the previous work in this area has focused on computing the distance between polyhedra, as the problem is easier to solve than the general case and the answer is suucient for many problems. Here we focus on computing the distance between convex ob...
متن کاملFloating Bodies of Equilibrium
A long cylindrical body of circular cross-section and homogeneous density may float in all orientations around the cylinder axis. It is shown that there are also bodies of non-circular cross-sections which may float in any direction. Apart from those found by Auerbach for ρ = 1/2 there are one-parameter families of cross-sections for ρ 6= 1/2 which have a p-fold rotation axis. For given p they ...
متن کاملInteraction between Objects in powerJava
In this paper we start from the consideration that high level interaction between entities like web services has very different properties with respect to the interaction between objects at the lower level of programming languages in the object oriented paradigm. In particular, web services, for security, usability and user adaptability reasons, offer different operations to different users by ...
