Description:
Fluids with nontrivial small-scale inhomogeneities
(microstructure) include suspensions, emulsions, foams, polymer
melts
and solutions, surfactant solutions and liquid crystals. Flows
of these
complex fluids display features that are not found in simple
fluids,
including interfacial and bulk instabilities, texture formation
and
evolution and other novel flow phenomena that all can be traced
back to
the influence the fluid microstructure has on the stresses that
develop
within the flow. This workshop focuses on these fluid
mechanical phenomena
and their origins in the complex nature of the fluid. Topics
include
free surface flows and extensional rheometry, instabilities and
flow
induced phase transitions, turbulence and drag reduction in
polymer and
surfactant solutions, coating and extrusion, some microfluidic
flows of
complex fluids, and multiscale computational methods.
