Abstract

A canal surface is the envelope of a moving sphere with varying radius, defined by the trajectory C(t) (spine curve) of its center and a radius function r(t). In this paper, we investigate the parameter curves which are also lines of curvature on the canal surface. Last of all, for special spine curves we obtain the radius functions of canal surfaces.
