surface of tension

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S06183
The mechanical properties of an @I03085@ between two fluid phases may be expressed in terms of those of a geometrical surface of uniform tension called the surface of tension, whose location is dependent on the distribution of the stress tensor within the @I03085@.
