Session: Interfacial Flows and Stability II (2010 Annual Meeting)

Wednesday, November 10, 2010: 12:30 PM

Alpine Ballroom East (Hilton)

Description:

This session of contributed talks will focus on flows in which fluid interfaces play an essential role, and on flow instabilities. Some topics of interest include the dynamics of thin liquid films and liquid bridges, motion of drops and bubbles, and the behavior of emulsions and foams.
