Complex fluids

Pierre Saramito is Research Director at CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) at Jean Kuntzmann laboratory in Grenoble, France. His primary research interest is computational mechanics and applied mathematics, for the development and analysis of approximation schemes for nonlinear partial differential equations with applications in the simulation of complex materials and fluids.

“A framework of thermodynamics is included to provide a platform for rigorous derivation of the constitutive equations. … References to the software suitable for non-Newtonian fluid flow are included. The text is a useful addition to the literature on non-Newtonian fluids. It should also act as a concise reference work in this area.” (S. C. Rajvanshi, zbMATH 1361.76001, 2017)
