Attended 85th SOR Meeting

Gaetano DA attended the 85th Annual Meeting of the Society of Rheology in Montréal (Québec, CANADA) giving the talk:”Rotation of an ellipsoidal particle in a viscoelastic liquid in an unconfined shear flow by numerical simulations”. ABSTRACT – The flow of non-spherical particles suspended in fluids is relevant in several applications…

La Bottega at AERC 2013

Four oral presentations of works produced at La Bottega della Materia Soffice were given at the 8th Annual European Rheology Conference in Leuven. Gaetano De Monaco (the first on the right) illustrated his preliminary results on simulation of flows of granular matter, Massimiliano Villone (in the middle) reported on simulations…
