"Rheology and Interfaces"

Scope of the meeting:

The relations between macrostructure and rheology of multiphase fluids is of great importance in many different applications ranging from food processing to polymer blends compounding.

The scope of the meeting is to bring together people from both academic and industrial backgrounds to discuss the scientific and technologic aspects of flow in multiphase systems.
