Synopsis:

The goal of this book is to show how potential flows enter into the general theory of motions of viscous and viscoelastic fluids. Traditionally, the theory of potential flows is thought to apply to idealized fluids without viscosity. Here we show how to apply this theory to real fluids that are viscous. The theory is applied to problems of the motion of bubbles; to the decay of waves on interfaces between fluids; to capillary, Rayleigh-Taylor, and Kelvin-Hemholtz instabilities; to viscous effects in acoustics; to boundary layers on solids at finite Reynolds numbers; to problems of stress-induced cavitation; and to the creation of microstructures in the flow of viscous and viscoelastic liquids.

About the Authors: Daniel Joseph is a professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Minnesota. He is the holder of patents on the wave-speed meter, the spinning rod interfacial tensiometer, and the spinning drop tensiometer, among others. Dr Joseph is the editor of the International Journal of Multiphase Flow and has authored five books and more than 300 articles.
