2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Interfacial Flows and Stability II

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.
