This book gives a systematic investigation of convection in systems comprised of liquid layers with deformatable interfaces.
This new edition includes completely updated and new material on flows in ultra thin films and brings up to date progress made in the technology on micro and nano scales. Also, this revised edition will reflect progress in the dynamics of complex fluids.
