Abstract
The first few terms of the forward and reverse (or inverted) power series for the profiles of axisymmetric drops and bubbles are obtained explicitly, using the normalized radius of curvature at the apex,B, as parameter. The classical Leibniz formula is used to derive recurrence relations for the terms of the series. The power series may be rearranged to expose the Bessel function and circle approximations, together with their respective perturbation terms. The numerical results obtained agree with those given by Hartland and Hartley for a significant range ofB.
