About the book Wave Dynamics and Stability of Thin Film Flow Systems presents the current state-of-the-art of both the fundamentals and applications of Thin Film Flow Systems and points to future directions of research. The flow of liquids in thin films on solid surfaces exists in a wide variety of naturally occurring phenomena as well as in practical operating situations of importance. Thin liquid films can be produced on smooth solid surfaces either by the action of gravity on stationary vertical or inclined planes or by the action of centrifugal forces on rotating disks. The articles cover a wide spectrum of topics that include mathematical modeling of wave evolutions of falling films, instability and transport phenomena in thin liquid films, rupture, dewetting and drop formation of thin polymer films, thin film on heterogeneous porus substrates, dynamics of viscous liquid sheets, thin films in the presence of chemical reactions and models for human tear film dynamics. | |
