Relative Equilibrium of Liquids - Theory & Concepts

Analysis of liquids subjected to uniform linear acceleration and rigid-body rotation.

Relative Equilibrium Simulator

Open tank: 2.0 m long, 1.8 m high, initially filled to 1.0 m.

Horizontal acceleration (

a_x

)0.0 m/s²

Vertical acceleration (

a_v

)0.00 m/s²

Positive is upward. At −9.81 m/s² the tank is in free fall.

Effective downward gravity9.81 m/s²

Surface angle0.00°

End-to-end elevation difference0.000 m

Left / right depth1.000 / 1.000 m

The free surface is perpendicular to effective gravity. It falls in the direction of horizontal acceleration, with $\left|dz/dx\right|=|a_x|/(g+a_v)$ .
