British Society of Rheology Mid-Winter Meeting @ University of Lincoln

On the 18-20th December, 2023 the Centre for Computational Physics hosted the British Society of Rheology’s Mid-Winter Meeting: “Modelling and Measurement of Complex Materials: what works, what doesn’t, and what’s needed?” Attendees of the meeting enjoyed a broad range of presentations across different areas of rheology, including:

• Hugh Barlow (Unilever) “Interfacial rheology of lung surfactant: experiments and modelling to explore disruption of breathing by aerosolised compounds” 
• Helen Wilson (UCL) ” Building constitutive models for complex suspensions “
• Patrick Ilg (University of Reading) “Fluids with internal rotations: hybrid simulations of ferrofluid flow” 
• Annual Award Lecture: Alexander Morozov (University of Edinburgh) “Elastic turbulence in parallel shear flows: Recent progress” 
• Vernon Harrison Award Lecture: Libby Marshall (University of Glasgow) “Preparation of multicomponent systems as a means of controlling the properties of peptide-based low molecular weight hydrogels” 

Attendees also toured The Bridge and enjoyed a conference dinner @ The Assembly Rooms.
