This workshop is the sequel of
·
the 1st
Workshop held at Banff, Alberta, Canada
22-27 October 2005, and
·
the 2nd
Workshop held at Monte Veritá, Switzerland, 14-18 October, 2007
OBJECTIVE
The overall goal of the workshop is to promote
interactions between people from different communities. It is
guessed that major cross-institutional research advances can be
achieved in the general domain of plastic fluids, that would not be
addressed without the formation of this interacting group.
SCIENTIFIC
PROGRAMME
The programme includes three invited lectures and regular talks. One
of the invited lectures is dedicated to the memory of
Professor Vladimir Entov.
The workshop will span different topics:
·
physical
processes involved in yielding:
existence of a yield stress,
interplay with thixotropy, what kind of
behavior before yielding, surface
chemistry, effect of surface
tension, how to measure yield stress?, etc.
·
mathematical
modelling: well-posed problems
and plastic flows, stability
of solutions, nature of plug flow, etc.
·
numerical
modelling: computation of yield
surface, meshing strategy,
finite-element versus finite-volume
methods, etc.
·
fluid mechanics:
interest of flow-depth averaged models (lubrication
theory),
free-surface instabilities, etc.
·
industrial
and other applications: concrete, cement,
food engineering,
drilling mud (petroleum industry), geophysical
flows, hemodynamics, etc.
This year, emphasis is given to
Industrial and other Applications.
If you would like to give a talk, please send us by email a short
abstract, a title, the list of authors (with affiliation), and the
name of the speaker.
