Visualization of time-dependent foam simulation data. / Dan R Lipsa

Swansea University Author: Dan R Lipsa

Abstract

Research in the field of complex fluids such as polymer solutions, particulate suspensions and foams studies how the flow of fluids with different material parameters changes as a result of various constraints. Surface Evolver, the standard solver software used to generate foam simulations, provides...
