Summary

Flows of complex fluids and other soft materials are ubiquitous in nature and technology, from blood flow to advanced manufacturing. Understanding them requires knowledge from a number of areas. This book brings these topics together in a unique, self-contained and integrated treatment, allowing the reader to see them in context.

Microhydrodynamics, Brownian Motion, and Complex Fluids Summary

Microhydrodynamics, Brownian Motion, and Complex Fluids by Michael D. Graham (University of Wisconsin, Madison)

This is an introduction to the dynamics of fluids at small scales, the physical and mathematical underpinnings of Brownian motion, and the application of these subjects to the dynamics and flow of complex fluids such as colloidal suspensions and polymer solutions. It brings together continuum mechanics, statistical mechanics, polymer and colloid science, and various branches of applied mathematics, in a self-contained and integrated treatment that provides a foundation for understanding complex fluids, with a strong emphasis on fluid dynamics. Students and researchers will find that this book is extensively cross-referenced to illustrate connections between different aspects of the field. Its focus on fundamental principles and theoretical approaches provides the necessary groundwork for research in the dynamics of flowing complex fluids.
