Abstract

This monograph presents a systematic, step-by-step approach to the continuum modeling of flow phenomena exhibited within materials endowed with a complex internal microstructure, such as polymers & liquid crystals. By combining the principles of Hamiltonian mechanics with those of irreversible thermodynamics, Antony N. Beris & Brian J. Edwards, renowned authorities on the subject, expertly describe the complex interplay between conservative & dissipative processes. Throughout the text, the authors emphasize the evaluation of the free energy -largely based on ideas from statistical mechanics - & how to fit the values of the phenomenological parameters against those of microscopic models.
