Opis

Interfacial Phenomena and Convection remedies this problem by furnishi ng a self-contained monograph that examines a rich variety of phenomen a in which interfaces pay a crucial role. From a unified perspective t hat embraces physical chemistry, fluid mechanics, and applied mathemat ics, the authors study recent developments related to the Marangoni ef fect, including patterned convection and instabilities, oscillatory/wa nard layers subj ected to transverse and longitudinal thermal gradients and phenomena i nvolving surface tension gradients as the driving forces, including fa lling films, drops, and liquid bridges.

Spis treści

Introduction. Interfacial Flows. Thermocapillary Motion of Drops and their Spreading Due to the Marangoni Effect. Stationary Interfacial Patterns in Fluid Layers. Interfacial Oscillations, Waves and Turbulence. Instabilities of Parallel Flows.
