The contents of this short term course is designed to develop an understanding of mathematical models of complex fluids flow and its relevance to fundamental understanding and industrial application
Description:
Complex fluids are mixtures that have coexistence between two phases: solid–liquid (suspensions or solutions of macromolecules such as polymers), solid–gas (granular), liquid–gas (foams) or liquid–liquid(emulsions). Mathematical Modelling for Complex Fluids provides researchers and engineering practitioners encountering fluid flows with state-of-the-art knowledge in continuum concepts and associated fluid dynamics. To design mathematical models of these flows that adequately express the engineering physics involved. It exploits the implicit link between the classical Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids such as those required in food processing and polymeric flows. The objective of course to develops a descriptive mathematical model articulated through continuum mechanics concepts for these non-Newtonian, viscoelastic fluids.
