Interfacial mixing and transport are non-equilibrium processes coupling
kinetic to macroscopic scales. They occur in fluids, plasmas and
materials, over celestial events to atoms. Grasping their fundamentals
can advance a broad range of disciplines in science, mathematics, and
engineering. This work focuses on the long- standing classical problem
of stability of a phase boundary - a fluid interface that has a mass
flow across it. We briefly review the recent advances and challenges in
theoretical and experimental studies, present our general theoretical
framework directly linking microscopic interfacial transport to
macroscopic flow fields, for both inertial and accelerated dynamics,
discover new mechanisms of the interface stabilization and
destabilization, and chart perspectives for future research.
