2016 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Complex Fluids: Self-Assembled Materials

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 surfactant-laden and self-assembling fluids.
