| Outline and Purpose of the Course | After general introductions on the flow properties (Rheology) of polymeric liquids as typical examples of non-Newtonian fluids, the relationship (known as the constitutive equation) between strain rate and stress is explained. In addition to classical phenomenological approaches, molecular approaches based on statistical mechanics will be taught in this course. To this end, basic lectures on “Langevin Equation”, “Hydrodynamic Interaction”, and “Linear Response Theory” will also be given. | |||
| Course Goals | To understand strength and weakness of both phenomenological and molecular approaches to formulate general behaviors of non-Newtonian fluids mathematically as forms of constitutive equations. Also to learn mathematical and physical methodologies necessarily to achieve this. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
- Polymeric Liquids / Rheology,6times,Shedding lights on the nature of polymeric liquids in comparisons with simple Newtonian liquids. Various formulations on the characteristic behaviors of polymeric liquids based on both empirical and molecular approaches are lectured. - Stochastic Process / Langevin Equation,3times,To deal with Brownian motions of particles in solvents, a lecture on Langevin equation is given after some basic tutorials on stochastic process. - Green Function / Hydrodynamic Interaction,2times,To deal with motions of interacting particles in solvents, a lecture on the hydrodynamic interaction is given after some basic tutorials on Green function and Poisson equation.
