244 Complex Fluids I: Polymers and Macromolecules

Tuesday, November 18, 2014: 8:30 AM
M304 (Marriott Marquis Atlanta)
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 and surfactant-laden flows.
