Dynamics and Instability of Fluid Interfaces

The following topics are discussed: instabilities induced by mass transfer, low surface tension, and gravity at isothermal deformable interfaces; the formation and thinning of liquid films; the instability and rupture of thin liquid films; and mechanical, chemical, and electrical constraints of hydrodynamic interfacial instability. Also considered are the dynamic effects of surfactants and macromolecules on interfacial viscoelastic properties, interfacial instability and longitudinal waves in liquid-liquid systems, and the instability of a spherical drop with surface chemical reactions and transfer of surfactants.
