Asymptotic modelling of fluid-fluid interfaces (English)
0 references
The interfacial region between two fluids is seen as a transition layer through which the gradients of physical parameters are large. This is the ``microscopic'' point of view. A ``macroscopic'' description is then introduced where the two fluids are separated by a surface with no thickness, called ``interface''. The asymptotic modelling consists of considering that the transition layer has a thickness \(\delta\) that is very small compared to the radius of curvature \(R\) of the isodensity surfaces located inside the layer. In the asymptotic limit \(\delta/R \to 0\), the layer is seen as a discontinuity surface: an ``interface''. The usual interfacial balance laws are reestablished and discussed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0840.00049].
