Download or read book Dynamics of Complex Fluids written by M. J. Adams and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this important volume present an up-to-date, wide-ranging view on developments in the analysis of complex fluid behaviour. Emphasis is placed upon the relation between small scale structure and large scale response: this brings together the approaches of the molecular physicist and the continuum mechanicist. Experiments, constitutive models and computer simulations are combined to yield new insights into the flow behaviour of polymer melts and solutions, colloidal and neutral particle suspensions, and pastes and soils.
