Book Description
The viscosities of concentrated suspensions of glass fibers in high viscosity silicone oil were measured with a capillary viscometer using 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch diameter capillaries. Suspension fiber length distributions and rheological properties were highly dependent on mixing technique. The viscosity of the suspensions was strongly dependent on fiber length distribution--a few percent of relatively long fibers in the distribution doubled or tripled the suspension viscosity. Special attention was paid to wall effects which complicate the interpretation of suspension viscosity data. Yield stresses, squeeze-through, the capillary entrance exclusion were observed; their magnitudes increased with fiber length and depended strongly on fiber length distribution.

Author: R. P. ChhabraPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080564933
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 750
Book Description
This book bridges the gap between the theoretical work of the rheologist, and the practical needs of those who have to design and operate the systems in which these materials are handled or processed. It is an established and important reference for senior level mechanical engineers, chemical and process engineers, as well as any engineer or scientist who needs to study or work with these fluids, including pharmaceutical engineers, mineral processing engineers, medical researchers, water and civil engineers. This new edition covers a considerably broader range of topics than its predecessor, including computational fluid dynamics modelling techniques, liquid/solid flows and applications to areas such as food processing, among others. * Written by two of the world's leading experts, this is the only dedicated non-Newtonian flow reference in print. * Since first publication significant advances have been made in almost all areas covered in this book, which are incorporated in the new edition, including developments in CFD and computational techniques, velocity profiles in pipes, liquid/solid flows and applications to food processing, and new heat/mass transfer methods and models. * Covers both basic rheology and the fluid mechanics of NN fluids ? a truly self-contained reference for anyone studying or working with the processing and handling of fluids
Complex Fluids in Biological Systems
Author: Saverio E. SpagnoliePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1493920650
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
This book serves as an introduction to the continuum mechanics and mathematical modeling of complex fluids in living systems. The form and function of living systems are intimately tied to the nature of surrounding fluid environments, which commonly exhibit nonlinear and history dependent responses to forces and displacements. With ever-increasing capabilities in the visualization and manipulation of biological systems, research on the fundamental phenomena, models, measurements, and analysis of complex fluids has taken a number of exciting directions. In this book, many of the world’s foremost experts explore key topics such as: Macro- and micro-rheological techniques for measuring the material properties of complex biofluids and the subtleties of data interpretation Experimental observations and rheology of complex biological materials, including mucus, cell membranes, the cytoskeleton, and blood The motility of microorganisms in complex fluids and the dynamics of active suspensions Challenges and solutions in the numerical simulation of biologically relevant complex fluid flows This volume will be accessible to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in engineering, mathematics, biology, and the physical sciences, but will appeal to anyone interested in the intricate and beautiful nature of complex fluids in the context of living systems.

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
Author: Gui-Rong LiuPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9812384561
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
This is the first-ever book on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and its variations, covering the theoretical background, numerical techniques, code implementation issues, and many novel and interesting applications. It contains many appealing and practical examples, including free surface flows, high explosive detonation and explosion, underwater explosion and water mitigation of explosive shocks, high velocity impact and penetration, and multiple scale simulations coupled with the molecular dynamics method. An SPH source code is provided and coupling of SPH and molecular dynamics is discussed for multiscale simulation, making this a friendly book for readers and SPH users.
