Dynamics and Stability of Capillary Surfaces
Capillary surfaces are gas/liquid interfaces whose shape is primarily determined by surface tension. Dramatic change often arises from instability! To put instability to purpose is our mission. We do so by predicting, modifying and exploiting instability and the ensuing dynamics.
