Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This book is an excellent text for graduate students, as well as anyone interested in starting research in the area of interfacial instability. The subject of interfacial instability is introduced in terms of the liquid jet, liquid bridge, and the stability of other interfaces such as those in solidification. There are nine chapters, each in the form of an essay ... ." (Yuriko Y. Renardy, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 j)

"In nine chapters this book deals with linear stability problems which involve, in one way or another, a free deforming boundary. The authors have selected topics which can all be solved analytically, making this book quite useful for teaching. ... The book is also well suited as an introductory reading for students who would like to understand the physics and get acquainted with one of the particular subjects addressed here." (H. Kuhlmann, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1019, 2003)
