Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids

The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and latest advances in particle motion in non-Newtonian media. Thoroughly updating and expanding its best-selling predecessor, this edition addresses numerical and experimental developments in non-Newtonian particulate systems. It includes a new chapter on heat transfer in non-Newtonian fluids in the free and mixed convection regimes and covers forced convection regimes. Salient Features: Demonstrates how dynamic behavior of single particles can yield useful information for modeling transport processes in complex multiphase flows. Addresses heat transfer in GNF, viscoplastic and viscoelastic fluids throughout the book and outlines potential strategies for heat transfer enhancement. Provides a new detailed section on the effect of confinement on heat transfer from bluff-bodies in non-Newtonian fluids. Written in a clear and concise manner, this book remains an excellent handbook and reference. It is essential reading for students and researchers interested in exploring particle motion in different types of non-Newtonian systems encountered in disciplines across engineering and the sciences.
