要旨:

Key question addressed in this seminar: importance of two-fluid effects on macroscopic and mesoscopic scales in complex fluids. Topics of central importance are immiscibility and velocity differences. Two-fluid hydrodynamics can be applied to materials with two subsystems, which can move relative to each other. The additional macroscopic variables always include the concentration of one component and the relative velocity. The three specific systems covered here are:
1) Smectic clusters in nematic phases: breakdown of flow alignment and sign change of the anisotropy of electric conductivity [1].
2) Clusters above the glass transition in polymer and low molecular weight materials [2].
3) Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs): onset of column formation in magnetic fields [3].
