On Nonlinear Evolution of Axisymmetric Nuclear Surface

Abstract

We consider an uniformly charged incompressible nuclear fluid bounded by a closed surface. It is shown that an evolution of an axisymmetric surface $\Gamma(\bbox{r},t)\equiv \sigma - \Sigma(z,t) = 0,\quad \bbox{r}=(\sigma,\phi,z)$ can be approximately reduced to a motion of a curve in the $(\sigma,z)$-plane. A nonlinear integro-diffrerential equation for the contour $\Sigma(z,t)$ is derived. It is pointed on a direct correspondence between $\Sigma(z,t)$ and a local curvature, that gives possibility to use methods of differential geometry to analyze an evolution of an axisymmetric nuclear surface.
