Despite factoring in countless natural, biological, and industrial processes, fixed attention on the singular attributes and behavior of fluids near or at interfaces has not received enough attention in the surface science literature. Liquid Interfacial Systems assembles and analyzes concepts and findings as an inclusive summation of fluid-fluid interfacial phenomena. This book covers excitation, stabilization, and suppression of instability at liquid interfaces. From the influential original research and scholarship of leaders in the discipline comes a volume to impart and explain...

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,...

Marangoni (1878), provided a wealth of detailed information on the effects of variations of the potential energy of liquid surfaces and, in particular, flow arising from variations in temperature and surfactant composition. One aspect of this science is seen today to bear on important phenomena associated with the processing of modern materials. The role of the basic effect in technology was probably first demonstrated by chemical engineers in the field of liquid-liquid extraction. Indeed, phenomena attributable to Marangoni flows have been reported in innumerable instances relevant to modern...

It contains many contributions reflecting his fields of interest, including but not limited to tidal internal waves, ocean circulation, deep ocean currents, and Arctic oceanography.Special attention is paid to studies on internal waves and especially those on tidal internal waves in the Global Ocean.
