JOURNAL OF NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID MECHANICS

非牛顿流体力学杂志出版了流动软物质系统的研究。欢迎提交流动复杂流体的所有领域，包括聚合物熔体和溶液、悬浮液、胶体、表面活性剂溶液、生物流体、凝胶、液晶和颗粒材料。与微流体、芯片上实验室、纳米流体学、生物流、地球物理流、工业过程和其他应用相关的流动问题引起了人们的兴趣。被认为适合期刊的主题包括以下内容（不一定按重要性排序）：自然或技术相关的流动问题的理论、计算和实验研究，其中流体的非牛顿性质对确定流动特性很重要。我们特别寻求能够对复杂流体中的流动行为进行机械性洞察或突出复杂流体特有的流动现象的研究。示例包括非牛顿流体中的不稳定性、不稳定和湍流或混沌流动特性，涉及复杂流体的多相流，涉及传热、传质和混合等输运现象的问题，在一定程度上，非牛顿流动行为是输运现象的核心。新的流动情况表明需要进一步的理论研究，流动的实际情况需要系统的理论和实验研究。这些问题和发展通常出现在聚合物加工、石油、制药、生物医学和消费品行业。此列表旨在具有代表性，而不是详尽无遗。非牛顿流体方程的数学分析适用于复杂流体流动问题的数值方法从连续介质和微观结构出发，建立了非牛顿流体的流变本构方程。流变本构方程预测的实验评估。宏观和微观层面的流变测量装置和方法，包括微观流变学。过分抽象、形式化或人为的发展将不受欢迎。

The Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics publishes research on flowing soft matter systems. Submissions in all areas of flowing complex fluids are welcomed, including polymer melts and solutions, suspensions, colloids, surfactant solutions, biological fluids, gels, liquid crystals and granular materials. Flow problems relevant to microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip, nanofluidics, biological flows, geophysical flows, industrial processes and other applications are of interest.Subjects considered suitable for the journal include the following (not necessarily in order of importance):Theoretical, computational and experimental studies of naturally or technologically relevant flow problems where the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid is important in determining the character of the flow. We seek in particular studies that lend mechanistic insight into flow behavior in complex fluids or highlight flow phenomena unique to complex fluids. Examples includeInstabilities, unsteady and turbulent or chaotic flow characteristics in non-Newtonian fluids,Multiphase flows involving complex fluids,Problems involving transport phenomena such as heat and mass transfer and mixing, to the extent that the non-Newtonian flow behavior is central to the transport phenomena,Novel flow situations that suggest the need for further theoretical study,Practical situations of flow that are in need of systematic theoretical and experimental research. Such issues and developments commonly arise, for example, in the polymer processing, petroleum, pharmaceutical, biomedical and consumer product industries.This list is meant to be representative, not exhaustive.Mathematical analysis of equations relevant to non-Newtonian flowsNumerical methods suited to problems in flowing complex fluidsDevelopment of rheological constitutive equations for non-Newtonian fluids from both continuum and microstructural starting points.Experimental assessment of predictions from rheological constitutive equations.Devices and methodologies for rheological measurements at both macro- and microscopic levels, including microrheology.Overly abstract, formalistic or artificial developments will not be welcomed.
