Scientific Programme
The topics that will be discussed in this edition of the workshop are:
Phenomenology of yielding
Mathematical modelling
Numerical modelling
Time-dependent fluids
Fluid mechanics
Industrial applications: concrete, slurries, petroleum, cosmetics, food, geophysical flows, flows of biological fluids, etc.
