Thermodynamics of electrorheological fluids

open access: yes
The goal of this thesis is to derive equations of motion – a system of PDEs and boundary conditions – for an electrorheological fluid in electrostatics. In addition, we are going to consider thermal effects and the role of virtual power. The modeling approach will follow the classic thermodynamic procedure introduced by Bernard Coleman and Walter Noll.

Electrorheological Fluids

Electrorheological Fluids, 1994
Considerable scientific and industrial interest is currently being focused on a class of materials known as electrorheological (ER) fluids. These fluids display remarkable behavior, being able to convert rapidly and repeatedly from a fluid to a solid when an electric field is applied or removed. The ER phenomenon has been known for 50 years but only in

Structure of electrorheological fluids

Physical Review Letters, 1990
Electrorheological (ER) fluids are colloidal suspensions of highly polarizable particles in a nonpolarizable solvent. In a strong electric field, the behavior of the fluid is dominated by the dipolar interactions between the colloidal particles. We address problems of structure formation and long-time relaxation in an ER fluid.

Rheology of electrorheological fluids

Physical Review Letters, 1992
We present experimental and theoretical results on the shear thinning of electrorheological fluids. Rheological measurements on a model fluid consisting of monodisperse silica spheres immersed in a dielectric liquid show a power-law dependence \ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\propto}\ensuremath{\gamma}${\mathrm{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}}^{\mathrm ...
