Thermodynamics of flowing systems : with internal microstructure /
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 t...
