Stability and Bifurcation
in Two-Fluid Viscous Flows
The study of flows involving two immiscible liquids is a challenging subject
rich in interdisciplinary science. There are many applications in industry, for
example, the formation of bicomponent fibers and the transport of oil in
pipelines. Theoretically, there are often many possibilities for the shape of the
interface between the fluids, while experiments may show that some shapes are
preferred over others. Hence, the selection mechanisms need to be investigated
with the aim of lessening the gap between theoretical prediction and experimental
results. Physical modeling, analytical and computational techniques aid the
study of various arrangements of two fluids. The speakers will present some
recent advances in this area.
