โฆ Synopsis
Asymptotic methods are employed to determine the leading-order equations that govern the fluid dynamics of slender, and thin and slender, inviscid, irrotational, planar liquid sheets subject to pressure differences and gravity. Two flow regimes have been identified depending on the Weber number, and analytical solutions to the steady state equations are provided. Linear stability studies indicate that the sinuous mode corresponds to Weber numbers on the order of unity, while the varicose mode is associated with small Weber numbers. For small Weber numbers, the nonlinear stability of liquid sheets is determined analytically in terms of elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds. It is also shown that the sinuous mode of thin and slender liquid sheets is identical to the same mode for slender sheets.

## Abstract Beside ฮฑโhelices, ฮฒโsheets are the most common secondary structure elements of proteins. In this article, the question of structure and stability of parallel and antiparallel sheets of various lengths is addressed. All data obtained are compared to a selected set of protein structures.
We study the asymptotic behaviour of a spinning top whose shape is spherical, while its mass distribution has axial symmetry only and which is subject to sliding friction on the plane of support (so-called tippe top). By a suitable choice of variables in the equations of motion we construct explicit
