Abstract: Standing waves appear at the surface of a spherical viscous liquid drop subjected to radial parametric oscillation. This is the spherical analogue of the Faraday instability. Modifying the Kumar & Tuckerman (1994) planar solution to a spherical interface, we linearize the governing equations about the state of rest and solve the resulting equations by using a spherical harmonic decomposition for the angular dependence, spherical Bessel functions for the radial dependence, and a Floquet form for the temporal dependence. Although the inviscid problem can, like the planar case, be mapped exactly onto the Mathieu equation, the spherical geometry introduces additional terms into the analysis. The dependence of the threshold on viscosity is studied and scaling laws are found. It is shown that the spherical thresholds are similar to the planar infinite-depth thresholds, even for small wavenumbers for which the curvature is high. A representative time-dependent Floquet mode is displayed.
