Abstract: By equilibrium equation of mechanics, the equation of static fluid surface in revolving symmtrical tank under low gravity has been derived. Boundary condition of contact angle is given. Finally, using Runge-Kutta method, numerical results are attained with the shape of static fluid surface drawn by the computer. Features of the computing method are analysed as well.

Key words: low gravity condition, contact angle, Bond number, shape of static liquid surface
