Rheology of Complex Fluids [Hardcover]

The aim of the School on Rheology of Complex fluids is to bring together young researchers and teachers from educational and R&D institutions, and expose them to the basic concepts and research techniques used in the study of rheological behavior of complex fluids. The lectures will be delivered by well-recognized experts. The book contents will be based on the lecture notes of the school.

Based on lecture notes from the School on Rheology of Complex Fluids, this book discusses how to understand multicomponent-multiphase systems of which most of complex fluids are examples. The book covers a wide variety of application areas.

Deshpande, J. Murali Krishnan, P. B. Sunil KumarThis book provides an in-depth treatment of complex fluids. A clear understanding of the flow and rheological behavior of such fluids is crucial while carrying out the processing operations, designing equipments which handle/transport these fluids, and in their end-use applications.This book: Discusses multicomponent-multiphase systems of which most l,
