Preface
Two-fluid dynamics is a challenging subject rich in physics and prac
tical applications. Many of the most interesting problems are tied to the
loss of stability which is realized in preferential positioning and shaping of
the interface, so that interfacial stability is a major player in this drama.
Typically, solutions of equations governing the dynamics of two fluids are
not uniquely determined by the boundary data and different configurations
of flow are compatible with the same data. This is one reason why stability
studies are important; we need to know which of the possible solutions are
stable to predict what might be observed. When we started our studies in
the early 1980's, it was not at all evident that stability theory could actu
ally work in the hostile environment of pervasive nonuniqueness. We were
pleasantly surprised, even astounded, by the extent to which it does work.
There are many simple solutions, called basic flows, which are never stable,
but we may always compute growth rates and determine the wavelength
and frequency of the unstable mode which grows the fastest. This proce
dure appears to work well even in deeply nonlinear regimes where linear
theory is not strictly valid, just as Lord Rayleigh showed long ago in his
calculation of the size of drops resulting from capillary-induced pinch-off of
an inviscid jet. In two-fluid problems, there are many sources for instability
and the active ones may be determined to a degree by analysis of different
terms which arise in the energy budget of the most dangeraus disturbance.
Though we have presented many results from nonlinear analysis of two
fluid problems, this side of the subject is not yet well-developed. We are
also certain that the direct Simulations oftwo-fluid problems which have
commenced only in the years just passed have a potentially huge domain
for increased understanding.
Applications of two-fluid dynamics range from manufacturing to lu
bricated transport. Different mechanisms which are unique to the flow of
two fluids can be exploited for this purpose. Density-matching can be used
to depress the effect of gravity, or of centripetal acceleration in rotating
systems, allowing one to manipulate the places occupied and the shapes of
vi Preface
the interfaces between fluids. Viscosity segregation can be used to promote
mixing and demixing, to promote say the displacement of one fluid by an
other as in the problern of oil recovery, or to segregate one molten plastic
from another by encapsulation. The lubrication of one fluid by another is a
particularly important branch oftwo-fluid dynamics; if one fluid has a sur
passingly large viscosity, it may be lubricated by a less viscous fluid. The
most beautiful of the lubricated flows are the rollers discussed in chapter II
of the first part, Mathematical Theory and Applications. The most useful of
the lubricated flows are the water-lubricated pipelines, which are discussed
in chapters V through VIII of the second part, Lubricated Transport, Drops
and Miscible Liquids. It is our hope that this book will lead to deeper
understanding of the principles and applications oftwo-fluid dynamics.
The topics treated in this book are displayed in the table of contents.
It has been divided into two self-contained parts. Most of the techniques of
analysis used in the study oftwo-fluid problems are developed in the first
part, Mathematical Theory and Applications. The analyses are fully worked
there, with enough details to teach students. Four of the six chapters of
the second part, Lubricated Transport, Drops and Miscible Liquids, treat
problems which arise in the study of water-lubricated pipelining. We have
done a much more complete comparison of theory and observations than
was previously available with the serious intent of advancing this energy
efficient technology. Chapter IX is about immiscible vortex rings and is a
report and explanation of experimental results. Chapter X develops a new
theory of binary mixtures of miscible incompressible liquids in which the
density changes and the stresses induced by diffusion are considered. As
always, it is certain that a number of excellent studiesoftwo-fluid dynamics
which deserve mention have not been mentioned.
Our research for this project could not have been done without the
help of certain persons: Mike Arney, Runyan Bai, Nick Baumann, Gor
don Beavers, Kangping Chen, Howard Hu, Paul Mohr, John Nelson, Ky
Nguyen, Luigi Preziosi and Michael Renardy. We are especially indebted
to Chen, Hu and Preziosi for their excellent analytical and numerical stud
ies of lubricated pipelining and to Bai for the design and execution of very
elegant experiments. We thank Michael Renardy for reading through the
manuscript.
The work of Joseph was supported mainly by the Department of En
ergy, Office of Basic Energy Seiences and also by the fluid mechanics branch
of the National Science Foundation, the mathematics division of the Army
Research Office, by the Army High Performance Computing Center, and the
Minnesota Supercomputer Institute. Joseph's research on water-lubricated
pipelining was funded initially under a special small NSF grant for inno
vative research involving the lubricated transport of coal-oil dispersions.
Joseph is grateful to Steve Traugott for this initial grant which was later
picked up by Oscar Manley at the DOE.
Renardy's research was funded by the National Science Foundation

under Grant No. DMS-8902166. This project was begun during the Winter
Quarter of 1989 at the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications at
the University of Minnesota.
Yuriko dedicates this book with love to her father Sadayuki Yamamuro
("Papa, arigato"), and to her mother Akiko ( "osewani narimashita''). Dan
dedicates this book to Adam, Bai, Chris, Claude, Dave, Geraldo, Harry,
Howard, John, Kangping, Luigi, Mike, Paul, Pushpendra and Terrence.
