This book shows that problems apparently unique to one discipline are in fact similar to those found in other disciplines and that insights from all areas are essential to an understanding of interface dynamics. Dynamics of Curved Fronts is divided into two parts: an introduction explaining the unifying ideas of the field and a compendium of relevant articles on the subject. This book will be an indispensable reference work for researchers and graduate students in physics, applied mathematics, and chemical engineering. |
