On the simulation of kinetic theory models of complex fluids using the Fokker-Planck approach
Appl. Rheol. 17:2 (2007) 26494 (14 pages)
►
Models of kinetic theory provide a coarse-grained description of molecular configurations wherein atomistic
processes are ignored. The Fokker-Planck equation related to the kinetic theory descriptions must be solved for
the distribution function in both physical and configuration spaces. When the model involves high dimensional
spaces (including physical and conformation spaces and time) standard discretization techniques fail due to
excessive computation requirements. In this paper, we revisit some model reduction techniques recently proposed
to circumvent those difficulties, exploring other new application areas related to entangled polymer models
as well as the use of such reduced models for treating complex flows in which the distribution function
involves both the physical and the conformation coordinates.

Laser Doppler Forced Vibrology of Soft Agricultural Products
Appl. Rheol. 17:2 (2007) 25111 (7 pages)
►
We describe methodology of laser Doppler forced vibrology (LDFV) applied to texture assessment of soft agricultural
products. The method is applied to a melon. The lowest frequency resonant peak (mode M0) is used for
corrections of the whole amplitude frequency plot expressed in relation to the forcing deformation level. The
main differences between vibrology in vertical and horizontal laser positions are described. Missing and/or
degeneration of some modes in the laser horizontal position are explained. Peak analysis of the results obtained
reveals the parameters connected with information on internal damping, i.e. internal viscosity. Modulus of elasticity
is calculated either from the peak frequency of the M1 mode or by a new method from the M0 peak frequency.
The modulus of elasticity of the latter method is nearly one order higher and is more variable than the
former probably because the M0 mode is related to physical properties of the surface of the melon in contact
with the vibrating table. Fine structure of the skin can lead to possible degenerated forms with more sub-peaks.

In-line measurement of the viscous behaviour of wheat starch during extrusion. Application to starch cationisation.
Appl. Rheol. 17:2 (2007) 21222 (7 pages)
►
A specific twin channel slit die was used to measure in-line the viscous behaviour of an extruded wheat starch.
This allows to put in evidence the influences of temperature, water content and specific mechanical energy
(SME). The proposed rheological law permits to satisfactorily predict the viscosity of a wheat starch for any processing
condition. Original results are presented for the behaviour of cationic starches obtained by reactive extrusion.
