Interfacial Wave Theory of Pattern Formation Selection of Dendritic Growth and Viscous Fingering in Hele-Shaw Flow

The stabiltiy mechanisms of a curved front and the pattern formation in dendrite growth and viscous fingering have been fundamental subjects in the areas of condensed-matter physics, materials science, crystal growth, and fluid mechanics for about half a century. This book studies interfacial instab...
