Synopsis

This book delves into the phenomenon of instability in liquid flows with free boundary surfaces, particularly focusing on the breakup of accelerated liquid layers into drops. The author begins by establishing the theoretical framework for understanding this instability, drawing on previous research on the subject. The book then investigates the formation of drops resulting from the breakup of accelerated plane, cylindrical, and spherical layers of liquid. The author presents a detailed analysis of the perturbation of these flows and identifies the most unstable modes that lead to the formation of drops. The book concludes with practical recommendations for controlling drop size, based on the insights gained from the theoretical analysis. The author's approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying the breakup of liquid layers, offering valuable insights for researchers studying fluid dynamics and applications in fields such as explosive dispersion and spray formation.
