Essays are written to fulfill the needs of both teachers and graduate students; Problems have been selected so that they can be solved by hand; Discussion notes are at the end of many of the essays to serve as a basis for discussion; Endnotes provide background information which the reader may need in order to enjo the essay
This book presents a set of essays on interfacial instability, essays on such topics as jets, solidification and melting, precipitation, and electrodeposition. The book deals with the linear theory; as a result, pencil and paper suffice to work through the material. The first two essays provide the necessary background: the first is an introduction to jets; the second explains how to solve a problem in interfacial instability, where the boundary separating two phases can be displaced. The authors approach interfacial instabilities through their physical origins. These lie in the effect of surface displacements on gradients of pressure, temperature, and composition and on whether or not a perturbed gradient reinforces the displacement causing the perturbation. Intended for graduate students, the discussions are not mathematically demanding, but they do rely on an understanding of fluid flow, heat conduction, and diffusion. Students will find that the book deepens their understanding of problems in which deflecting surfaces are important; instructors will find in the essays useful material to enrich their lectures.

From the reviews: "This book is an excellent text for graduate students, as well as anyone interested in starting research in the area of interfacial instability. The subject of interfacial instability is introduced in terms of the liquid jet, liquid bridge, and the stability of other interfaces such as those in solidification. There are nine chapters, each in the form of an essay ." (Yuriko Y. Renardy, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 j) "In nine chapters this book deals with linear stability problems which involve, in one way or another, a free deforming boundary. The authors have selected topics which can all be solved analytically, making this book quite useful for teaching. The book is also well suited as an introductory reading for students who would like to understand the physics and get acquainted with one of the particular subjects addressed here." (H. Kuhlmann, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1019, 2003)
