This book describes analytical methods for modelling drop evaporation, providing the mathematical tools needed in order to generalise transport and constitutive equations and to find analytical solutions in curvilinear coordinate systems.
Part I: Mathematical tools.- Introduction to tensor analysis.- Elements of differential geometry of a surface.- Separability of PDE.- Orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems.- Sturm-Liouville problems.- Part II: Mass, momentum and energy conservation equations in curvilinear coordinates.- Conservation equations.
