Content
Rheology is realm of deformation of material. This term was coined by Eugene Bingham (Founder of the Society of Rheology in the USA). This course will help PhD students who are interested in characterization of materials from a rheological point of view. PhD students in material science, well construction, EOR, IOR, food science, polymer chemistry, medicine, and human biology are welcome to take the course.
The course is consisted of two modules: measuring rheological properties and modelling. The rheological behavior of the materials is studied in both micro and macro dimensions. The course covers liquid and solid materials.
