Computational Rheology and
Materials Research
Qi Wang Rheology is a highly interdiciplinary area in which the deformation of flowing materials and its interrelation with the stress (force/area) as well as the internal microstructure of the underlying materials is studied. Two dominating modes of research in the field of rheology nowadays are computer simulation and constitutive modeling. Our research engages in both vigorously. We develop kinetic and continuum theories for complex fluids and high performance computing environment for numerical simulations. Our current interests include development of hydrodynamic theories for flows of liquid crystal polymers and biological materials such as tissues as well as nanocomposites, and numerical simulation of structure formation and defect dynamics in the complex fluids. |
