Instability of Liquid Surfaces and the Formation of Drops, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint): A Refined Theory: A Refined Theory (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how thin liquid sheets become unstable and break into filaments or drops. This refined treatment blends theory and calculation to show how small disturbances evolve, slow down or speed up deformation, and shape the final breakup patterns.
This work frames a free boundary problem for a liquid layer, derives the governing equations, and develops a formal method to approximate solutions. It focuses on one- and two-dimensional profiles, analyzes stability, and discusses how thickness, surface tension, and initial disturbances influence the breakup into filaments or drops. The results connect linear instability ideas with nonlinear evolution, offering explicit expressions up to several orders in a small parameter.
- How instability theory predicts when a sheet will break into filaments and how many filaments may form per wavelength
- A method to express the evolving sheet profile using Fourier expansion and successive approximations
- Conditions under which nonlinear effects slow deformation compared to linear predictions
- Different outcomes for various thickness, surface tension, and disturbance amplitudes
Ideal for readers of advanced fluid dynamics, applied mathematics, and physics who want a rigorous, numbers-driven view of surface instability and drop formation.

Instability of Liquid Surfaces and the Formation of Drops, Vol. 2
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed theoretical study on the behavior of accelerated thin liquid sheets, particularly their tendency to break up into drops due to surface tension. The author draws inspiration from Taylor's earlier work on the subject, expanding on Taylor's instability theory by introducing the effect of surface tension and studying the phenomenon in more detail. The book delves into the mathematical complexities of the problem, using a combination of linear and non-linear approaches to analyze the stability of the liquid sheets. Through this rigorous analysis, the author provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the break-up process, shedding light on the factors that influence the size and shape of the resulting drops. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332090280_0
