This book presents a unified view of the physicochemical origin of the mechanical behaviour of gases, simple solids and liquids, suspensions, polymers, emulsions, foams, and granular materials, along with techniques for measuring that behaviour. Besides molecular materials in all their classical gaseous, solid, or liquid states, we deal daily with a number of other materials made of coarser elements such as polymers, cells, grains, bubbles, and droplets. They take on the familiar appearance of paints, inks, cements, muds, foams, emulsions, toothpastes, gels, etc. These materials exhibit complex structures and sometimes amazing types of mechanical behaviour, often intermediate between those o...
A comprehensive examination of rheometry theory and its practical applications This publication enables readers to understand and characterize the flow properties of complex fluids and, with this knowledge, develop a wide range of industrial and consumer products. The author fills a gap in the current literature by presenting a comprehensive description of the rheological behavior of pastes, suspensions, and granular materials and by offering readers the rheometrical techniques needed to effectively characterize these materials. With his extensive experience in both academic and industrial research, the author is able to take the field to a new level in: * General schematic classification of...
Le comportement mécanique des suspensions. L'accent est mis sur le lien entre les propriétés mécaniques macroscopiques et la structure interne de ces matériaux. Un traitement particulier est réservé aux suspensions constituées d'un grand nombre de particules s'approchant à très faible distance en cours d'écoulement.

This book provides an introduction to the subject of turbulence modelling in a form easy to understand for anybody with a basic background in fluid mechanics, and it summarizes the present state of the art. Individual models are described and examined for the merits and demerits which range from the simple Prandtl mixing length theory to complex second order closure schemes.
« Ce livre est le récit de quelques-unes des incertitudes de la physique d’aujourd’hui en devenir, avec l’ambition de montrer que les questions posées sont l’effet d’une logique interne qui nous a conduits immanquablement là où nous sommes. Il nous a semblé qu’il était possible de raconter en mots, sans équations ni long investissement préalable dans la lecture d’ouvrages difficiles, les interrogations auxquelles sont confrontés les physiciens de notre temps. Le monde qui nous entoure est bien présent dans ces pages puisque la physique n’est que confrontation entre concepts et réalité. Rien ne permet de penser que le bouleversement de nos modes de vie dû à l...
