Novel Rheometric Techniques and Constitutive Models for Linear and Nonlinear Rheology: Applications to Polymeric Solutions and Colloidal Gels

Complex fluids are used in a range of industries including the consumer goods, automotive, and oil and gas production sectors. Characterizing the rheology, understanding the flow behavior, and modeling the constitutive response of these complex fluids is important for predicting time-varying materia...
