Thermodynamics of Flowing Systems: with Internal Microstructure

BL Systematic approach BL Self contained - reviews the principles and the applications Beris presents a new systematic approach to the continuum modelling of flow phenomena within materials with a complex internal microstructure, such as polymers and liquid crystals. Beris takes a novel approach to this subject as the principles of Hamiltonian mechanics are combined with those of irreversible thermodynamics. This text is therefore the perfect base for mathematicians, engineers, or physicists involved in flow behaviour.
