Utilization of the second gradient theory in continuum mechanics to study motions and thermodynamics of liquid-vapor interfaces, Manuel G. Velarde (Ed.) (1987) 16
Utilization of the second gradient theory in continuum mechanics to study motions and thermodynamics of liquid-vapor interfaces
Henri Gouin 1
(1987)

A thermomechanical model of continuous fluid media based on second gradient theory is used to study motions in liquid-vapor interfaces. At equilibrium, the model is shown to be equivalent to mean-field molecular theories of capillarity. In such fluids, conservative motions verify first integrals that lead to Kelvin circulation theorems and potential equations. The dynamical surface tension of liquid-vapor interfaces is deduced from viscous fluid equations. The result provides and explains the Marangoni effect.
