The fluid mechanics of floating and sinking
This thesis is concerned with the fluid mechanics of floating and sinking. More specifically, the majority of this thesis considers the role played by surface tension in allowing dense objects to float. We first derive the conditions under which objects can float at an interface between two fluids....
