Springer IUTAM Symposium Lubricated Transport of Viscous Materials

Explore the proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Lubricated Transport of Viscous Materials, held in Tobago, West Indies. This academic volume brings together essential research from the first international symposium designed to connect scientists and engineers from both academia and industry. This text focuses on the emerging field of fluid dynamics, specifically examining the principles behind the lubricated transport of materials such as crude oil, concentrated oil/water emulsions, slurries, and capsules. Readers will find detailed discussions on complex fluid mechanics problems, including the migration of particulates away from walls and the Segre-Silverberg effects. As part of the Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications series (Volume 43), this book serves as a technical resource for those studying lubrication versus lift and shear. It provides a platform for exchanging ideas and reviewing current research work in this specialized area of engineering and fluid dynamics.
