Session: Complex Fluids (2011 Annual Meeting)

Monday, October 17, 2011: 12:30 PM

101 D (Minneapolis Convention Center)

Description:

This session of contributed presentations will focus on the hydrodynamics of complex fluids. Topics of interest include the effects of non-Newtonian rheology on flow, flow-induced microstructure, viscoelasticity, and general polymeric, surfactant-laden, and suspension flows.
