Bringing together forty-two contributions on all aspects of nonlinear and complex dynamics, this impressive topical collection is both a scientific and personal tribute, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, by many outstanding colleagues in the broad fields of research pursued by Prof. Manuel G Velarde. The topics selected reflect the research areas covered by the famous Instituto Pluridisciplinar at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, which he co-founded over two decades ago, and include: fluid physics and related nonlinear phenomena at interfaces and in other geometries, wetting and...

Addressing a hugely diverse range of topics, both fundamental and applied, this anthology of papers from leading researchers in non-linear and complex dynamics honors the seminal contributions to the field made by Spanish professor Manual G. Velarde.
