Bubbles, Drops, and Particles

Geared toward students and professionals in the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, geophysics, and applied mathematics, this volume offers a unified treatment and critical review of the literature related to the fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mass transfer of single bubbles, drops, and particles. Starting with a summary of fundamental principles, the text surveys the parameters used to characterize the shape of rigid particles, and of the factors that determine the shape of bubbles and drops. If further examines the behavior of particles under steady incompressible flow in an extended external phase, and explores effects that complicate the movement of a particle through an unbounded fluid. 1978 ed.
