Abstract

The equations governing the motion of a three-dimensional liquid drop moving freely in an unbounded liquid reservoir under the influence of a gravitational force are investigated. Provided the (constant) densities in the two liquids are sufficiently close, existence of a steady-state solution is shown. The proof is based on a suitable linearization of the equations. A setting of function spaces is introduced in which the corresponding linear operator acts as a homeomorphism.
