Joint Symposium of the
Belgian Group of Rheology BGR
and the
German Rheological Society DRG
Rheology – 360°
March 19-20, 2018
University of Luxembourg, Campus Limpertsberg
The focus of the joint symposium of the DRG and the BGR are the rheological properties of complex fluids in all its aspects. Colloidal dispersions, polymer solutions and melts, filled systems and life science fluids are characterised by complex flow behaviour. The objective of this symposium is to present novel results in the fields of theory & simulations, experiments and applications. Contributions from both academia and industry are welcomed in order to touch flow phenomena of a wide variety of complex fluids.
In particular, young rheologists are encouraged to present their results and share their insights within the rheological community. There will be no parallel sessions. Ample time will be provided for discussions. The conference language will be English.
