Grmela was a faculty member in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, where he made substantial contributions to the fields of thermodynamics, rheology and geometry. He amassed over 280 academic publications, including articles as recently as March 2026. In 2018, Grmela published a book about his theories and received the S.G. Mason Award from The Canadian Society of Rheology. Grmela’s greatest professional achievement was his discovery of how geom
The CSR invites you to register to the short course "Continuum Modelling of Complex Fluids" (Instructors: G. d’Avino, L. Biancofiore, I. Frigaard, R. Poole, J. Tsamopoulos, H. Wilson). Complex fluids - such as polymer solutions, colloidal suspensions, worm-like micelles, and gels - are ubiquitous in industrial, biological, and environmental systems. Their behaviour often deviates from Newtonian fluids due to their intricate microstructure, exhibiting viscoelasticity, yield st
The CSR invites you to attend a short course on rheology and rheometry at the University of British Columbia. Registration is currently open. For further details, please refer to the poster below.
On behalf of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME), the Computational Fluid Dynamics Society of Canada (CFDSC) and the Canadian Society of Rheology (CSR), we are delighted to announce the CSME-CFDSC-CSR 2025 International Congress, a joint conference to be held in the vibrant downtown Montréal (QC) campus of École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) on May 25-28, 2025. This annual conference represents an exciting opportunity for the mechanical engineering, CFD
