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) and it is parametrized through Frenet frame of the spine curve
C(t). If the radius function r(t) = r is a constant, then the canal surface is
called a tube or tubular surface. In this work, we investigate tubular surface
with Bishop frame in place of Frenet frame and afterwards give some characterizations about special curves lying on this surface

Keywords
