Bubbles, Drops, and Particles

Bubbles, Drops, and Particles by Roland Clift, published by Courier Corporation in January 2005, is a comprehensive volume that delves into the fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mass transfer associated with single bubbles, drops, and particles. This edition spans 381 pages and is presented in English, making it accessible to upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals in engineering, physics, chemistry, geophysics, and applied mathematics.

Readers will find a critical review of existing literature, beginning with fundamental principles and equations that govern the behavior of bubbles, drops, and solid particles in Newtonian fluids. The book surveys parameters that characterize the shape of rigid particles and examines the factors influencing the shape of bubbles and drops. Subsequent chapters focus on the behavior of solid and fluid particles under steady incompressible flow, concluding with a discussion on the complexities that arise when a particle moves steadily through an unbounded fluid. This structured approach provides a unified treatment of the relevant scientific concepts in the fields of science and applied engineering.
