This book is an ideal guide for those who need to make predictions about the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids in engineering. It stresses kinematics: the notion that there is a great interplay between the microscopic variables relevant to non-Newtonian fluids and the stresses developed in a given large-scale kinematic field. The volume surveys some typical non-Newtonian behavior, including information on classical continuum mechanics. It also provides a description of the two main kinematic fields--shearing and extensional flows. A survey of continuum and molecular-based relations is given to help readers through more complex flows needing and constitutive relation.Tanner, Roger I. is the author of 'Engineering Rheology (Oxford Engineering Science Series)', published 1990 under ISBN 9780198561972 and ISBN 0198561970.
