Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Physicochemical Hydrodynamics

The name Physicochemical Hydrodynamics (PCH) was given to the class of problems related to the influence of fluid flow on chemical or physical transformations and to the influence of physicochemical factors on fluid flows. The field has grown rapidly and its approach - combining the most sophisticated methods of modern theoretical and experimental physics and chemistry with the theory of fluid mechanics - has been applied to such diverse areas as mass and heat transfer in moving media, turbulence phenomena, interface mechanics, flow of non-Newtonian fluids, combustion, and flow in biological systems. The following major topics were covered: interface mechanics and multiphase systems; the theory of turbulence and its applications; transport phenomena and chemical reacting systems; the physicochemical hydrodynamics of low Reynolds number flow and the hydrodynamics of biological systems and polymers; and electrochemistry.
