The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides
comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

It is evident that a major effort has been accomplished over the last ten years toward the
development of numerical methods for solving viscoelatic flow. The problem was clearly …

Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics is a vast subject that has several journals partly, or
primarily, dedicated to its investigation (Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics …

Even though the flow of polymers often occurs at very low Reynolds numbers, the numerical
prediction of viscoelastic effects in complex geometries is a difficult task. Current …

In this paper, we present detailed and systematic experimental results on the sedimentation
of solid particles in aqueous solutions of polyox and polyacrylamide, and in solutions of …

Swallowing disorders deteriorate significantly the quality of life and can be life-threatening.
Texture modification using shear thinning food thickeners has been proven to be effective in …

The flow of an upper-convected Maxwell fluid past a circular cylinder is simulated
numerically using the algorithn SIMPLER, which is based on a finite volume discretization …

The rheological properties of polymer dope solutions influence the membrane structure and
performance. In the present work, the effect of shear rate on the fabrication of poly …

We consider the steady flow of an upper convected Maxwell fluid through a pipe with wavy
walls. The analysis is an extension to round pipes of the methods introduced by Yoo and …

In this work we investigate the use of an inhomogeneous structural model which explicitly
takes into account flow-induced crystallization for representing the necking phenomenon in …
