Table of contents
- physical concept of multiphasic fluid
- suspensions
- foams
- examples
Learning outcomes of the course :
The aim of the lectures is to depper study the physics of complex fluides by drawing a link between the macroscopic and microscopic properties of such fluids. Starting with a newtonian fluid, particles are added and their effect on the global viscosity of obtained. Former famous studies of Einstein, Langevain, de Gennes, Stokes... are followed and presented.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Skill on fluid mechanics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Face-to-face.
Recommended or required readings :
Slides are given at every lecture time but the main part is written on the blackboard.
Assessment methods and criteria :
An oral exam is organized as a presentation and deep analysis of a scientific paper on the topic.
