CAREER: Mechanisms and Models for Complex Materials

CTS-9502276在胶体科学与工程领域提出了一个研究与教育相结合的项目。主要目标是了解电场对材料行为的作用，并确定非布朗悬浮液的流变性能。建模工作旨在揭示控制机制，并在潜在机制、相关物理性质和宏观行为之间建立联系。将对特性良好的电流变流体进行实验。威斯康星大学在颗粒、多相流和界面现象领域计划了各种本科生和研究生课程和活动。＊＊＊

ABSTRACT CTS-9502276 A Combined research and educational program is proposed in the area of colloid science and engineering. The main objectives are understanding the role of electric field on material behavior, and determining the rheology properties of non-Brownian suspensions. Modeling efforts are designed to reveal controlling mechanisms, and make connections between the underlying mechanisms, relevant physical properties and macroscopic behavior. Experiments on well-characterized electrorheological fluids will be performed. A variety of undergraduate and graduate student courses and activities are planned in the area of particulate, multiphase flow and interfacial phenomena at the University of Wisconsin. ***
