He possibly tried the same experiment also with inclined planes in a spherical container with an equally negative result.
The second model considers only deviations which affects the orientation of the endeffector but not its position assuming that the mechanism remains spherical ("model 9").
The retained center of such a removed spherical neighborhood is not visible in the three-dimensional subspace in which the bounding 2-sphere lives.
These solutions correspond to an approximately spherical interface drifting slowly towards the boundary, without changing its shape.
Our computations show that the asymptotic drop shape consists of a compact, nearly spherical drop that encloses a spike of entrained ambient fluid.
The different behaviour is evidently due to the very large spherical roughness used, although the reasons are not entirely clear.
It is assumed that the spherical shape of the shell remains unchanged, excluding its bottom segment.
This makes it possible to take all advantages of the spherical hohlraum.
