About the Book

Drawing on the author's lectures on fluid mechanics modeling, this text takes a rigorous approach to the topic while maintaining a clear, easy-to-understand style. It deals with the main physical phenomena that occur in slow, inertialess viscous flows commonly encountered in various industrial, biophysical, and natural processes. Suitable for students in chemical or mechanical engineering, bioengineering, and physics, the book discusses a wide variety of topics, including confined flows, complex fluids, and rheology. Each situation is illustrated with examples and multi-part problems that stress analytical solutions and the physical interpretation of the mathematical results.

Table of Contents:
Fundamental Principles. General Properties of Stokes Flows. Two-Dimensional Stokes Flow. Lubrication Flows. Free Surface Films. Motion of a Solid Particle in a Fluid. Flow of Bubbles and Droplets. General Solutions of the Stokes Equations. Introduction to Suspension Mechanics. O(Re) Correction to Some Stokes Solutions. Non-Newtonian Fluids. Appendix A Notations. Appendix B Curvilinear Coordinates. Bibliography. Index.

About the Author :
Dominique Barthes-Biesel graduated from Ecole Centrale Paris and then earned a PhD in chemical engineering from Stanford University. She has been a professor at both Ecole Polytechnique and at Compiegne University of Technology, where she taught various classes in classical and complex fluid mechanics, biomechanics, and microfluidics. Professor Barthes-Biesel's field of interest is fluid mechanics with a special emphasis on suspensions of deformable particles such as drops, cells, and capsules. She is well-known for her pioneering work on the motion and deformation of encapsulated droplets. She has directed 27 PhD theses, published over 70 papers, and also worked on industrial projects.

Review :
"In view of the good choice of highly topical subject matter, the book will be of interest to a wide readership, not only among pure scientists. It will be useful to technicians, medical scientists and pharmaceutical chemists as a source of detailed information on advanced flow processes. ... [The chapters] are written in such a way that the reader can quickly absorb the essential information. The articles are of a high scientific standard and include interesting examples from many different areas of rheology." -Prof. Dr. Heinz Rehage, Institute of Physical Chemistry, Technische Universitat Dortmund, Germany "[The author's] long experience shows in the quality of the presentation and the writing. The presentation is at the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate level, and is both crisp and precise, the author striking a good balance between being introductory and including ... important steps in the derivation. ... Many institutions are now developing courses on microfluidics, small scale fluid mechanics, and complex fluids. This book fills a niche in that market and is likely to be the definitive text in the subject, at this level, for some time to come." -G.M. Homsy, University of British Columbia, Canada "... gathers together several topics in an extended manner that differs with general books I know. ... quite diverse and covers major areas, including recent developments ..." -Misbah Chaouqi, CNRS and University J. Fourier, Grenoble
