2016 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Complex Fluids: Polymers and Macromolecules

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 fluids and macromolecular solutions.
