Instabilities of fluid flows and the associated transitions between different possible flow states provide a fascinating set of problems that have attracted researchers for over a hundred years. This book addresses state-of-the-art developments in numerical techniques for computational modelling of fluid instabilities and related bifurcation structures, as well as providing comprehensive reviews of recently solved challenging problems in the field.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 2000 International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The book captures a snapshot view of the state of the art in the field of mechanics and will be invaluable to engineers and scientists from a variety of disciplines.
This book highlights some recent advances in interfacial research in the fields of fluid mechanics and materials science at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It is an extension of the presentations made during the conference “Interfaces for the 21st Century,” held on August 16-18, 1999, in Monterey, California. It includes papers by sixteen renowned experts in the field of interfacial mechanics, abstracts contributed by research scientists, and a summary of a panel discussion on future research directions. The book covers experimental and theoretical approaches, with the unifying philosophy being the investigation of new techniques for modeling the dynamics of interfaces. A number of new and exciting solution methods and experimental studies, as well as the physical problems that initiated them, are presented.
This volume contains several state-of-the art studies devoted to instabilities of melt flows in widely used crystal growth processes - Czochralski, Bridgman and floating zone. These phenomena are studied for many years and continue to attract attention nowadays when traditional crystal growth techniques are used to grow novel materials. New technological challenges initiate development of new, more powerful and more precise methods for experimental and computational modeling of crystal growth processes, some of which are described in the present articles. The stability of melt flow appeared as a challenging problem already in 1970's. Since then it motivated enormous number of studies that in...
