Breakup of Liquid Sheets and Jets
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... valuable source of information on free-surface flows ...'. Journal of Fluid Mechanics
'This text is written in a style making it easy to understand, and is presented at a reasonable pace, allowing the readers to first focus on the fundamentals before proceeding on to more complex systems.' The Chemical Engineer
'The author presents the most important results obtained by Savart (1833), Plateau (1873), Rayleigh (1879), G. I. Taylor (1959), S. Chandrasekhar (1961) and other authors until 2003, including his own contributions. ... The book is a good guide to specialists and beginners and, at the same time, a landmark to those interested in the development of the problem.' Zentralblatt MATH
Book Description
This book is an exposition of what we know about the physics underlying the onset of instability in liquid sheets and jets. Wave motion and breakup phenomena subsequent to the onset of instability are also carefully explained. Physical concepts are established through mathematics, accurate numerical analysis and comparison of theory with experiments. Exercises are provided for students new to the subject. Researchers interested in topics ranging from transition to turbulence, hydrodynamic stability or combustion will find this book a useful resource, whether their background lies in engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine or applied mathematics.
