About this title

Synopsis

Interfacial fluid dynamics is important in areas ranging from the flight of an aircraft to the flow of blood in the heart, and an area of active research and development owing to improved analytical, experimental, and computational techniques. This book describes the latest methods and applications in the field. Written by an internationally recognized panel of experts in both theory and experimentation, coverage is organized around five topics: Benard and thermocapillary instabilities, shear and pressure induced instabilities, waves and dispersions, multiphase systems, and complex flows. This comprehensive volume will interest a broad audience of graduate students, faculty, and researchers in mechanical, aerospace, materials, and chemical engineering, as well as in applied mathematics and physics.

Book Description

Many of the signficant issues in fluid dynamics occur at interfaces, that is, at the boundaries between differing fluids or between fluids and solids. The subject is is also an area of active research and development, owing to improved analytical, experimental, and computational techniques. This book describes current research and applications in interfacial fluid dynamics. It is organized around five topics--Benard and thermocapillary instabilities, shear and pressure induced instabilities, waves and dispersions, multiphase systems, and complex flows--with chapters contributed by internationally recognized experts. This book will interest graduate students, faculty, and researchers in mechanical, aerospace, materials, and chemical engineering, as well as applied mathematics.
