Overview

This book highlights some recent advances in interfacial research in the fields of fluid mechanics and materials science at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It is an extension of the presentations made during the conference Interfaces for the 21st Century, held on August 16-18, 1999, in Monterey, California. It includes papers by sixteen renowned experts in the field of interfacial mechanics, abstracts contributed by research scientists, and a summary of a panel discussion on future research directions. The book covers experimental and theoretical approaches, with the unifying philosophy being the investigation of new techniques for modeling the dynamics of interfaces. A number of new and exciting solution methods and experimental studies, as well as the physical problems that initiated them, are presented.Contents: The Effect of a Stabilising Gradient on Interface Morphology (T Maxworthy) Spreading of a Liquid Drop with Mass Loss (L M Hocking) Viscous Gravity Currents with Solidification (M Bunk et al.)
