ABSTRACT
Following a classical deterministic approach, the phases that constitute a multiphase dispersed system are assumed to be a continuum, i.e., without discontinuities inside the entire phase, which is considered homogeneous and isotropic [1-5]. Therefore, the basic laws, e.g., conservation of mass, first and second Cauchy laws of motion, and first and second laws of thermodynamics, are applicable. Also, such concepts as heat, mass, and momentum transfer phenomena are of common use for the description of the related events. It is hydrodynamic, electrodynamic, and thermodynamic instabilities that occur at the interface, and the rheological properties of the interfacial layers that are responsible for the existence of droplets or droplet-film structures in fine dispersed systems [6, 7].
