Thermal Convection : Patterns, Evolution and Stability

“In our opinion, this book will be useful for experts in fluid mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, and applied mathematics, as well as physicists and engineers.  The book can be used also by graduate students.”  (Mathematical Reviews, 2012)

"Undoubtedly, the book can be considered as a mandatory reading for everybody whose research involves thermal convection effects. . . For experts it offers a good overview of the current status of
"hot" problems in thermal convection. The book can be strongly recommended for MSc and PhD students whose research includes thermal convection problems, as well as to engineers whose projects involve nonisothermal buoyancy- and thermocapillary-driven flows." (Cryst. Res. Technol, 2011)

"Despite the word "convection" appearing in the title, this excellent monograph is not a book
on heat transfer . . . Otherwise, this is an excellent text which I recommend for those seriously interested in thermally driven convection." (Computational Thermal Sciences, 2011)

"It represents the most comprehensive single volume monograph on convection phenomena available at the present time. I am glad to have the book on my shelf and I will recommend it to anyone with interest in convection as an inspiring guide through its myriad manifestations." (Radostin D. Simitev, October 2010)"This excellent monograph will be warmly welcomed by university teachers and researchers working in the field of thermal convection, and it will be useful for graduate students looking for a short way from basic notions to the current state of the art in that field." (European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids, September 2010)

"It is a treasure-trove of phenomenological details ordered in a systematic way.  It represents the most comprehensive single-volume monograph on convection phenomena available at the present time.  I am glad to have the book on my shelf and I will recommend it to anyone with interest in convection as an inspiring guide through its myriad manifestations."
