"Five Stars" according to Hassan. thanks
Practical applications, presented in the form of illustrations and examples are emphasized, as well as physical interpretation of the computed results. Basic concepts of interface, capillarity, and phase change processes are summarized to help clarify physical mechanisms, followed by a discussion of recent developments in computational modeling. Fundamental features of interfacial dynamics have also been illustrated in the form of case studies, to demonstrate the interplay between fluid and thermal transport of macroscopic scales and their interaction with interfacial transport.. Specifically those influenced by phase change, gravity, and capillarity are emphasized, and both the macroscopic and morphological (microscopic) scales are presented. The book is intended as a reference for researchers and graduate students in mechanical, aerospace, chemical and materials engineering.Both macroscopic and microscopic (but still continuum) features are addressed. The various computational elements important for the prediction of complex fluid flows and interfacial transport are presented in this volume. Part I presents the basic concepts of finite difference schemes for solving parabolic, elliptic and hype
