Physics of Wetting : : Phenomena and Applications of Fluids on Surfaces / / Edward Yu. Bormashenko.
Motivated by a plethora of phenomena from nature, this textbook introduces into the physics of wetting of surfaces. After a brief discussion of the foundations of surface tension, its implementation for floating objects, capillary waves, bouncing droplets, walking of water striders, etc. is discusse...
