Fluid structure under shear stress

这项建议的主要目标是加强和扩大申请者与墨西哥伙伴机构之间已经在进行的合作。在这一合作的背景下，2008年在墨西哥城举办了一次专题研讨会，并开始了学术交流访问。这项建议旨在通过计算机模拟(主要是分子动力学)来研究高剪切速率下流动的气体和液体的结构，希望找到剪切速率对流体结构的影响，从而显示非牛顿行为和剪切诱导的热力学效应的开始。这类科学工作已经在进行中。根据这一建议，要求提供资金支持：a)让一名墨西哥博士生来科隆接受高级培训，b)让他的导师来科隆进行项目协调和演讲，c)让申请者前往墨西哥讲授计算机模拟和热力学计算课程。

Main objective of this proposal is the intensification and extension of an already ongoing cooperation between applicants and a Mexican partner institute. Within the context of this cooperation, a thematic workshop was held in 2008 in Mexico City, and academic exchange visits were initiated.This proposal aims at the investigation of the structure of flowing gases and liquids by means of computer simulation (mainly molecular dynamics) at high shear rates with the hope of finding an influence of the shear rate on fluid structure, which then would show the onset of non-Newtonian behaviour and shear-induced thermodynamic effects.Scientific work of this kind is already going on. With this proposal financial support is requesteda) to let a Mexican Ph.D. student come to Cologne for advanced training,b) to let his supervisor come to Cologne for project coordination as well as presenting lectures,c) to let the applicants travel to Mexico to give courses on computer simulation and thermodynamic computations.
