Advances in the Flow and Rheology of Non-Newtonian Fluids, Volume 8
Description
This work covers areas such as bio- and food- rheology, electro-rheological fluids, polymers, flow in porous media, and suspensions. Complex and industrial flow situations are dealt with via analytical, as well as, numerical methods. In Chapter 1, a critical account of advances made in the area of flow-induced interactions in circulation is presented. Chapters 2 & 3 deal with shear-thickening in biopolymeric systems, and with the rheology of food emulsions, respectively. The next six chapters are on complex flows, in particular, Chapter 4 discusses worm-like micellar surfactant solutions. Chapter 5 covers time periodic flows. Chapter 6 communicates on secondary flows in tubes of arbitrary shape. Chapter 7 relates effects of non-Newtonian fluids on cavitation. Chapter 8 discusses viscoelastic Taylor-Vortex flow. Chapter 9 deals with non-Newtonian mixing. This is followed by two chapters on computational methods relevant to homogeneous viscoelastic fluids at the macro-level. The next major section is on constitutive equations and viscoelastic fluids. Chapter 12 discusses recent advances in transient network theory. Chapter 13 deals with theories based on fractional derivatives and Chapter 14 involves kinetic theory. Chapters 15 and 16 put forward new concepts approaching the constitutive structure of polymeric melts. The next chapter communicates the theory of flow of smectic liquid crystals. Part A ends with an overview of extensional flows.
