Vapor-liquid interfaces, bubbles and droplets: fundamentals and applications

Physically correct boundary conditions on vapor-liquid interfaces are essential in order to make an analysis of flows of a liquid including bubbles or of agas including droplets. Suitable boundary conditions do not exist at the present time. This book is concerned with the kinetic boundary condition for both the plane and curved vapor-liquid interfaces, and the fluid dynamics boundary condition for Navier-Stokes(fluid dynamics) equations. The kinetic boundary condition is formulated on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations and the fluid dynamics boundary condition is derived by a perturbation analysis of Gaussian-BGK Boltzmann equation applicable to polyatomic gases. The fluid dynamicsboundary condition is applied to actual flow problems of bubbles in a liquid and droplets in a gas. Easily readable and exact. Available as a handbook of beginners and specialists. Applicable to actual flow problems of bubbles in a liquid and droplets in a gas. INDICE: Historical Review on Vapor-Liquid Interfaces.
