This book gives a detailed and practical introduction to complex
flows of polymers and reinforced polymers as well as the flow of
simple fluids in complex microstructures. Over the last decades, an
increasing number of functional and structural parts, made so far
with metals, has been progressively reengineered by replacing
metallic materials by polymers, reinforced polymers and composites.
The motivation for this substitution may be the weight reduction,
the simpler, cheaper or faster forming process, or the ability to
exploit additional functionalities. The present Brief surveys
modern developments related to the multi-scale modeling and
simulation of polymers, reinforced polymers, that involve a flowing
microstructure and continuous fiber-reinforced composites, wherein
the fluid flows inside a nearly stationary multi-scale
microstructure. These developments concern both multi-scale
modeling, defining bridges between the micro and macro scales -
with special emphasis on the mesoscopic scale at which kinetic
theory descriptions apply and advanced simulation techniques able
to address efficiently the ever more complex and detailed models
defined at different scales. This book is addressed to students
(Master and doctoral levels), researchers and professionals
interested in computational rheology and material forming processes
involving polymers, reinforced polymers and composites. It provides
a unique coverage of the state of the art in these
multi-disciplinary fields.
