Easily readable and exact, this book is concerned with the kinetic boundary condition for both the plane and curved vapor-liquid interfaces. It also devotes attention to the fluid dynamics boundary condition for Navier-Stokes (fluid dynamics) equations.

Physically correct boundary conditions on vapor-liquid interfaces are essential in order to make an analysis of flows of a liquid including bubbles or of a gas including droplets. Suitable boundary conditions do not exist at the present time. This book is concerned with the kinetic boundary condition for both the plane and curved vapor-liquid interfaces, and the fluid dynamics boundary condition for Navier-Stokes(fluid dynamics) equations. The kinetic boundary condition is formulated on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations and the fluid dynamics boundary condition is derived by a...
