Development of instability and loss of symmetry following isentropic compression of a spherical drop
We consider the dynamics of isentropic compression of a drop with an inhomogeneous initial density distribution under the influence of an external pressure that is constant over the surface of the drop. It is shown that the spherical drop shape is unstable and that the spherical symmetry is lost in the course of compression.
