    Investigating Rheology of Microgels in Dilute and Concentrated Suspensions

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Etemadi Dailami, Mohammad Hossein (Author) ; Mohammadi, Ali Asghar (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    For designing a unit operation, knowledge about physical properties is essential. This is attained either by direct measurement, which needs spending time and cost or, using proposed correlations. This project is subjected to theoretical analysis of viscosity as the most important rheological property of dilute suspensions of microgels, or in other words colloidal suspensions of porous spheres. They are applied in drug delivery, enhanced oil recovery, synthesis of catalyst and adsorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous systems for water purification purposes. In dilute suspensions particles are faraway from each other and there is no interaction between them therefore, it is better to... 

    Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of Shock Waves Propagation in Porous Medium

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Nemati Hayati, Ali (Author) ; Ahmadi, Mohammad Mehdi (Supervisor) ; Mohammadi, Soheil ($item.subfieldsMap.e)
    Abstract
    Particulate porous mateials have always been of interest in terms of reducing shock waves effects in different protective applications. Therefore, the physics governing the flow in porous media is especially significant for which different models have been presented by the researchers. The complexities of these media have caused many existing models to be unable to properly predict the behavior of granular media under shock loadings. On the other hand, the complexity of the equations makes the numerical solution of them cumbersome and costly in a way that many researchers do not solve the whole coupled equations and reduce their number. In addition, current high-resolution TVD solutions of...
