A formalism suitable for numerical evaluation
of finite-range liquid-drop model
expressions related to the interaction energy of two arbitrarily oriented,
deformed heavy ions is developed.
The presentation of the formalism is
organized to facilitate
extensions to alternative parameterizations and energy expressions.
The model is applied to specific heavy-ion
collisions that illustrate the importance
of a multidimensional approach in the study of complete fusion
reactions. Potential-energy surfaces related to light-particle emission
for heavy, deformed nuclei are also presented.
The text and the
color figures are
