✦ Synopsis

An apparatus designed to sulject a liguid column or bridge to an axial llow is described. The bridge liquid is density matched to the water in the external flow in order to simulate low gravity ( (\sim 10^{-3}) Earth (\mathrm{g}) ). The influence of flow on shape is the focus of interest. Results for low flow rates show that flow modifies static shapes in a way that can be accounted for by static theory even for moderate deviations from cylindrical shape. 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
