Abstract

Cylindrical containers for the USML-2 Interface Configuration Experiment, having the form of a circular cylinder with two mathematically determined diametrically opposed “proboscis” protrusions, are discussed. Results of preliminary drop tower tests are shown, along with numerically computed fluid interface configurations.
