The Stability of Equilibrium Capillary Surfaces

This new book is dedicated to the stability problem for equilibrium capillary surfaces. The importance of this problem lies in the fact that only stable equilibrium states can be realized in nature, while the effect of surface tension is universal in occurrence.
Interest in the theory of capillary phenomena has quickened in the last decades in connection with development of aerospace engineering and technology, and new ideas in the simulation of porous media.

這本新書專注於平衡毛細曲面的穩定性問題。這個問題的重要性在於，只有穩定的平衡狀態才能在自然界中實現，而表面張力的影響則是普遍存在的。

近幾十年來，由於航空航天工程和技術的發展，以及對多孔介質模擬的新思想，人們對毛細現象的理論越來越感興趣。
