Abstract

A planar circular liquid drop with radius r, surface tenstion and rotating with angular frequency Ω is shown to be formally stable, in the sense of a positive definite second variation of a combination of conserved quantities, if 3^r/r^3 > (^Ω/2)^2. The proof is based on the energy-Casimir method and the Hamiltonian structure of dynamic free boundary problems.
