Summary
In various manufacturing sectors, the precise management of complex fluids is crucial, especially in the production of electric vehicles, food items, petroleum-based products, and metallurgical operations. The characteristics of complex fluids, including rheology and other material properties, are highly sensitive to changes in temperature and time, which present significant challenges for the regulation of the related dispensing systems.
This special issue of the FDMP journal, organized through an open-call process, seeks to collect valuable contributions from the research community to expand our understanding of the vast, yet largely unexplored, opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration between materials science and fluid dynamics. The intent behind this issue is inherently interdisciplinary. It aims to cultivate a deeper comprehension—not just through dialogue between authors and readers—but also by dismantling the traditional boundaries between disciplines. These boundaries often hinder researchers and industry professionals from exchanging data and insights that could be instrumental in addressing problems that span multiple fields. Submissions of “Review” papers are especially encouraged. The covered subjects include:
non-Newtonian fluid modeling
developing viscous fluid
water hammer and pressure surge problems
servo-hydraulic system
needle valve
progressive cavity pump
multi-phase flow modeling with free surfaces
rheological characterizations
Keywords
Fluid transient evolution, non-Newtonian fluid, flow control
