Internally and externally driven flows of complex fluids : viscoelastic active matter, flows in porous media and contact line dynamics

We consider three varied soft matter topics from a continuum fluid mechanics perspective, namely: viscoelastic active matter, viscoelastic flows in porous media, and contact line dynamics. Active matter. For the purposes of this thesis, the term active matter describes a collection of active particl...
