Special Issue on Physics of Fluids: “Roger Tanner: 90 Years of Rheology”

On the occasion of the 90th birthday of Prof. Roger I. Tanner in 2023, we invite contributions dealing with the rheology of complex fluids and suspensions. These include experimental and computational advances in the rheological characterization and modelling of polymeric fluids and melts, as well as colloidal and non-colloidal particle suspensions immersed in both Newtonian and viscoelastic matrices.  Deadline 31st October 2023.

Minisymposium on “Multiscale modelling of complex fluids using particle-based methods” at Particles 2023, Milano.

In October 2023, the CμF-Rheo Lab has organized a mini-symposium on “Multiscale modelling of complex fluids using particle-based methods” at the VIII International Conference on Particle-Based Methods (PARTICLES 2023) in Milan, Italy. 

Minisymposium on “Multiscale Modelling of Complex Fluids” at ICIAM 2023, Tokyo.

In August 2023, Prof. M. Ellero has co-organized, together with Prof. G. Giusteri (Padova Univ.) and Prof. T. Taniguchi (Kyoto University), a Minisyposium on “Multiscale Modelling of Complex Fluids” at the 10th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM2023) in Tokyo. The focus was on the modelling and computational aspects of multiscale coupling strategies and hybrid techniques -continuum, mesoscopic, atomistic- specifically applied to complex fluids, such as colloidal suspensions, granular media, polymeric systems and/or multiphase flows.
