Overview

This book gives a systematic investigation of convection in systems comprised of liquid layers with deformatable interfaces. This new edition includes completely updated and new material on flows in ultra thin films and brings up to date progress made in the technology on micro and nano scales. Also, this revised edition will reflect progress in the dynamics of complex fluids.

Reviews

From the reviews: This book gives a systematic investigation of convection in systems comprised of liquid layers with deformable interfaces. The equations and models are carefully developed. ! The literature review of recent works is very timely. ! This monograph pulls together the large amount of very recent theoretical and experimental works related to interfacial convection in multilayer systems and is a valuable contribution. (Yuriko Y. Renardy, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 a) The monograph integrates a large body of previous work on convection in infinitely extended and superposed plane layers of two and three immiscible liquids. ! The monograph appears to be mostly comprehensive and provides a good guide to the specialized literature (611 references are given) to which the authors themselves have contributed significantly. (Hendrik Kuhlmann, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1100 (2), 2007) In this book, the authors present a compendium of results on thermocapillary flows and on flows with both buoyancy and thermocapillarity. ! In summary, the bulk of this book is excellent and ! more valuable resource for mathematicians, physicists and engineers working on the stability of thermocapillary flows. (John Billingham, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 581, 2007)
