| Semester |
Spring |
| Description |
The course deals with experimental and theoretical rheology; flow and deformation are described in relation to physical and chemical properties of various materials (polymers, textile fabrics, dispersions, paper, liquid crystals, colloidal suspensions, biological fluids). |
| Prerequisites |
The knowledge of mathematics (vector and tensor calculus, PDE, Fourier transformation), hydraulics, fluid mechanics and process kinetics. |
| Course content |
Phenomenological macrorheology (stress, deformation, second-order effects), stress-strain relations and constitutive equations, theories of viscosity and viscosity of specific materials in relation to molecular structure, properties of viscoelastic materials and dynamics of viscoelastic behaviour, thixotropy and dilatacy, non-Nwetonian flow of various materials - case studies, specific visco- and rheometric flows and experimental techniques for identification of rheological properties, theory of screw extruders, applications: rheology of specific materials (polymers, colloidal suspensions, dispersions, textile fabrics, liquid crystals, biological fluids). |
