Abstract
We begin this chapter by looking at the implications of the momentum and moment of momentum balances at phase interfaces. Our emphasis is upon the forces that appear to act within a dividing surface. We have long been familiar with interfacial forces in static problems, where we speak of surface tension. Here we study the forms that these forces may take in dynamic problems.
