Abstract
The role of hydrodynamic stability theory (h.s.th.) in fluid mechanics is paramount, especially when we have to deal with the problem of minimum consumption of energy. This theory deserves special mention in the aerodynamics of profiles in supersonic regime, the construction of automation elements by fluid jets and the technique of emulsions. The rapid development of this theory in recent decades has resulted in a huge number of studies that require much effort to cover. The aim of this book is to provide a unified presentation of the fundamentals in h.s.th. and its achievements.
