| The finite element method for flow calculations has been extensively used up to now to tackle complex flow problems involved in engineering processes. However it has not yet been sufficiently utilized to give physical insight in numerous applications arising either in the evolving area of bio-rheology or in liquid crystals (LC) complex flow problems. The main goal of the proposed research project is to study the rheological response and hydrodynamic description of two types of complex fluids: biological tissues/fluids and liquid crystals, incorporating multiple moving interfaces in inhomogeneous fields. The problems tackled within this project share similarities regarding their numerical treatment (i.e. treatment of free surfaces, multiphase flow calculations, mesh generation etc) enabling a joint collaborative approach combing highly sophisticated numerical methods. | |
