The design and performance of liquid metal batteries (LMBs), a new technology for grid-
scale energy storage, depend on fluid mechanics because the battery electrodes and …

Falling film flow and heat transfer are extensively encountered in various industries of
renewable and sustainable energy due to the outstanding heat transfer performance. The …

Our time is characterized by an explosion of information and by an acceleration of
knowledge. A book cannot compete with the huge amount of data available on the Web …

This monograph provides a detailed review of the state-of-the-art theoretical (analytical and
numerical) methodologies for the analysis of dissipative wave dynamics and pattern …

Since the publication of the first edition of Interfacial Phenomena, the interest in interfaces
and surfactants has multiplied, along with their applications. Experimental and theoretical …

Self-propulsion of liquid marbles filled with aqueous alcohol solutions and placed on a water
surface is reported. The characteristic velocity of the marbles is ca. 0.1 m/s. The …

The De Gruyter Studies in Mathematical Physics are devoted to the publication of
