Just a few decades ago, chemical oscillations were thought to be exotic reactions of only
theoretical interest. Now known to govern an array of physical and biological processes …

This edited volume offers complete coverage of the latest theoretical, experimental, and
computer-based data as summarized by leading international researchers. It promotes full …

This book presents the fundamentals of low gravity fluid dynamics and heat transfer. It
investigates fluid behavior in low gravity environments such as those found in earth orbiting …

A model is presented to simulate the behaviour of an axisymmetric volatile liquid droplet
impacting on a hot solid surface in the film boiling region. A volume of fluid (VOF) algorithm …

An experimental investigation has been conducted to measure pool boiling critical heat
fluxes in reduced gravity. A horizontal cylindrical cartridge heater immersed in water at …

A temperature gradient imposed across a binary fluid layer with a nonzero Soret coefficient
will induce a solute concentration gradient. The ratio of these two gradients is proportional to …

Gravity modulation of an unbounded fluid layer with surface tension variations along its free
surface is investigated. The stability of such systems is often characterized in terms of the …

Stationary onset of convection due to surface tension variation in an
unboundedmulticomponent fluid layer is considered. Surface deformation is included and …

This paper reports a numerical study of the Marangoni-Benard (MB) convection in a planar
fluid layer. The least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) is employed to solve the three …

The role of the Soret effect in the Marangoni-Bénard stability of binary mixtures is analyzed
by the local potential technique. The transients of the thermotransport process are …
