Short Course Invitation - Continuum Modelling of Complex Fluids

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 stress, shear thinning/thickening, and thixotropy. Understanding and predicting their flow dynamics requires advanced theoretical and numerical tools that extend beyond the scope of classical fluid mechanics. 

This course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the continuum modelling of complex fluids, bridging the gap between theoretical foundations and practical applications. It is designed for doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists in engineering, physics, and applied mathematics with a solid background in fluid mechanics or rheology. 

This short course will be offered at CISM, Udine, Italy in September 14-18. Early bird registration closes July 14^th and can be completed using the following link: https://www.cism.it/event/continuum-modelling-of-complex-fluids-6520.
