Nonlinear Dynamics of Surface-Tension-Driven Instabilities : With a Foreword by I. Prigogine
Editorial Reviews
Review
"... clearly written ...can be used by graduate students as a textbook and by mature experts in the fileds of applied mathematics and engineering science as an up-to-date review of the probem. It may also be useful for a wide circle of experts working in diefferent fields of nonliniar science." Mathematical Reviews
"The authors have compiled an authoritative exhaustive monograph of this theory, of the kind that few today can find the time to embark upon." Contemporary Physics
"...it can be e firm foundation stone for generations of graduate students..." Contemporary Physics
Book Description
This book provides readers with a progressive and complete insight into the vast field of surface-tension-driven instabilities, describing as it does a number of "first principle" analyses of realistic set-ups, including several physicochemical processes at interfaces. Nonetheless, much emphasis is placed on the generality of the results and methods used, by way of the detailed derivation and analysis of a number of generic nonlinear equations known to hold in many physical systems, even outside the realm of fluid mechanics.
Aimed at those who are new to the theory and seek an approach to current research, this manual will also appeal to those scientists already actively researching and who have always felt the need for a reference work in this field of nonlinear physics.
