Synopsis

This book constitutes a comprehensive survey of the balance equations for mass, momentum and energy for the interfaces in pure fluids and mixtures. Constitutive laws are presented for many situations in engineering science, and examples are provided, including surface viscosity effects, variable surface tension and vapor recoil. In addition, some extensions of existing theory are given: stretch effect in premixed flames, relaxation zones downstream two-phase shock waves, and effective surface tension for steep gradient zones.

Review

"... this book is timely in that it fills a gap in the existing literature by considering several useful examples." -- Mathematical Abstracts 2002

The book is well written and should be relatively reader friendly to the scientifically literate individual. -- Applied Mechanics Reviews, Nov 2002
