Synopsis

We use a direct, geometric approach to study the free surface boundary conditions for stationary flows of viscous liquids. The free surface problem is characterised by a mapping on smooth variations of a given configuration; this mapping has a simple structure, which we determine by computing its differential, and studying it in terms of the space dimension and the surface tension coefficient. Applications are given to problems of existence, uniqueness and regularity in free surface flows.
