Abstract
The problem of shapes of interfaces between fluids which rotate rigidly without shear, when gravity is neglected, is determined by a balance of the capillary force against pressure forces associated with centripetal accelerations. When there is no rotation, and no other constraints, surface tension will pull the interface into a sphere.
