Capillary Flows with Forming Interfaces

"Capillary Flows with Forming Interfaces" addresses a range of problems arising in theoretical fluid mechanics in situations where the standard approaches to the mathematical modeling of capillary flows run into paradoxes.

This book provides a comprehensive review and analysis of theoretical and experimental research carried out on these paradoxical flows.

It also presents a unifying approach to the modeling of these seemingly different phenomena by embedding them into a general physical context and examining physical and mathematical similarities between them.

The book highlights unresolved problems and discusses the merits and shortcomings of various solution approaches.
