Physical Introduction to Suspension Dynamics

Informationen zum Autor Élisabeth Guazzelli is Senior Researcher (Directeur de Recherche) at the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique). She did her graduate training in physics at the École Normale Supérieure de Fontenay aux Roses and Université Paris-Sud. Her research interests are in the field of particulate multiphase flows, such as granular media, fluidized beds, suspensions, and sedimentation. Klappentext Opens up the field by introducing theoretical, mathematical concepts in physical form through examples. Zusammenfassung This accessible introduction opens up the field by presenting theoretical! mathematical concepts through concrete examples. Students and researchers from various other disciplines! including engineering! geophysics and applied mathematics! will value this text! which is a springboard for further study of the many open questions in the field.
