This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book develops a unified analytical framework for understanding the shape and stability of pendent drops governed by hydrostatic balance, pinned boundaries, and Rayleigh Taylor instability. Through a systematic treatment of both volume-controlled and pressure-controlled configurations, it shows how gravitational and capillary forces interact to produce turning points, symmetry-breaking transitions, and instability thresholds. Byusingpotential-energy methods,variational principles, and symmetry arguments, the authorsdemonstratethat the full nonlinear behavior of drop configurations can be characterized without explicitly solving the associated eigenvalue problems. The resulting framework, based on a tractable one-dimensional model and extendable to axisymmetric and more general geometries, provides a clear approach for analyzingequilibriumdrop behavior across a wide range of physical settings. 84 pp. Englisch.

This book develops a unified analytical framework for understanding the shape and stability of pendent drops governed by hydrostatic balance, pinned boundaries, and Rayleigh–Taylor instability. Through a systematic treatment of both volume-controlled and pressure-controlled configurations, it shows how gravitational and capillary forces interact to produce turning points, symmetry-breaking transitions, and instability thresholds. By using potential-energy methods, variational principles, and symmetry arguments, the authors demonstrate that the full nonlinear behavior of drop configurations can be characterized without explicitly solving the associated eigenvalue problems. The resulting framework, based on a tractable one-dimensional model and extendable to axisymmetric and more general geometries, provides a clear approach for analyzing equilibrium drop behavior across a wide range of physical settings.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
