About the Authors
  • This book describes the research done on the problems of Bénard convection, its modern offspring the RayleighSHBénard problem, and Taylor vortices. Both problems are classical examples in the theory of hydrodynamic stability and share many features. While linear theory describing the onset of instability for both problems is practically completed, nonlinear problems are at the forefront of research. Thus the author concentrates on the impressive progress that has been made in the theoretical and experimental investigation of the nonlinear problems and outlines the remaining basic problems.

    • Experimental approach to fluids
    • Author is very well-known experimentalist
    • Around 100 figures, many of which are the author's own photos
    • Classic subject matter lit up by recent investigations

    Reviews & endorsements

    "I would enthusiastically recommend Bénard Cells and Taylor Vortices to all researchers and graduate students interested in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and scientific research. Cambridge University Press should be complimented for a superb production and publication." Turgut Sarpkaya, Applied Mechanics Review

    "...a very readable, informal, descriptive discussion." The American Mathematical Monthly

    "...a thorough and accessible account of linear and nonlinear stability problems and of turbulent flows....should be read and considered by those interested in pattern formation in fluids." C. David Andereck, Physics Today

    "...highly recommended for theoreticians and experimentalists in hydrodynamic stability and bifurcation and also for all those interested in modeling in hydrodynamics." Mathematical Reviews
