Content
Part 1 Viscoelasticity: extensive rheology and flow instabilities in elastic polymer solutions; computing with high viscoelasticity; Brownian dynamics simulations in polymer physics. Part 2 Polymeric and self-assembled systems: polymer liquids at high shear rates; formation of polymer brushes; dynamics of absorbed polymer layers. Part 3 Particulate dispersions: the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of sedimentation; migrational instabilities in particle suspensions; microstructure of colloidal dispersions under flow. Part 4 Viscoplasticity: crucial elements of yield stress fluid rheology; are plug flow regions possible in fluids exhibiting a yield stress?; strain localization during the squeeze flow of a paste; computation of large scale viscoplastic flows of frictional geotechnical materials.
