Download or read book Microhydrodynamics and Complex Fluids written by Dominique Barthes-Biesel and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the author's lectures on fluid mechanics modeling, this text takes a rigorous approach to the topic while maintaining a clear, easy-to-understand style. It deals with the main physical phenomena that occur in slow, inertialess viscous flows commonly encountered in various industrial, biophysical, and natural processes. Suitable for students in chemical or mechanical engineering, bioengineering, and physics, the book discusses a wide variety of topics, including confined flows, complex fluids, and rheology. Each situation is illustrated with examples and multi-part problems that stress analytical solutions and the physical interpretation of the mathematical results.
