Textured fluids
… rheology and development morphology of textured fluids have been investigated. The first fluid considered in this work was a liquid crystalline polymer consisting of isotropic and anisotropic solutions of poly-p-phenyleneterephthalamide (PPT) in sulfuric acid. The second textured fluid considered …

Fluids in Planetary Systems
… of planetary surfaces and the evolution of life, fluids play an integral role in shaping planetary bodies. Fluid properties and processes were investigated under a range of planetary conditions through (1) experimental simulations of impact events and petrographic analysis of terrestrial …

Thermodynamics of geologic fluids
Fluids play a vital role in essentially all geologic environments and processes, and are the principal media of heat and mass transfer in the Earth. The properties of geologic fluids can be diverse, as fluids occur at conditions ranging from ambient temperatures and pressures at Earth's surface, to …

Three Experiments on Complex Fluids
The behaviour of complex fluids is fundamentally interesting and important in many applications. This thesis reports on three experiments on the thermal and rheological behaviour of complex fluids. The first is a study of the rheological properties of and heat transport in a saline solution of …

Non-equilibrium polymeric complex fluids
Complex fluids are commercially- and industrially-important materials which exhibit ordering on scales much larger than atomic. Their usage is typically in non-equilibrium conditions, however traditional methods for measuring rheology are not appropriate for measuring samples with gradients …

Viscosity Modeling of Complex Fluids
… these factors makes predicting the viscosity of fluids difficult. Despite decades of research in this area, accurate prediction of viscosity for a wide range of substances and mixtures remains a challenge. The work presented here investigated four aspects of the viscosity modeling of complex …

Filtration of non-Newtonian fluids.
… increasing usage and importance of non-Newtonian fluids in the chemical industries and in scientific research, an investigation into the filtration of non-Newtonian fluids was undertaken. During the course of the present investigation, filtration equipment was designed and constructed to conduct …

Electrohydrodynamic manipulation of multiphase fluids
… radii and the dielectric properties of the fluids and particles are studied, and a dimensionless parameter regime for which the technique is guaranteed to work is defined. Also it is shown that this technique can be used to separate particles experiencing positive dielectrophoresis on the …

Variational theory of quantum fluids
… calculation of the properties of quantum fluids given the microscopic two-body potential. Physical arguments are used to construct a correlation operator that approximately transforms the states of a non-interacting system into the corresponding states of the interacting-system. The theory …

Engineering applications of electro-rheological fluids
The use of electro-rheological (ER) fluids is relatively new in engineering applications. ER fluids can change from liquid to solid-like gel under an electrical field, and this change takes place within milliseconds. The change is reversible once the electrical field is removed. This thesis is an …

Dynamics of nanoparticles in complex fluids.
<p>Soft matter is a subfield of condensed matter including polymers, colloidal dispersions, surfactants, and liquid crystals. These materials are familiar from our everyday life- glues, paints, soaps, and plastics are examples of soft materials. Many phenomena in these systems have the same …
