THE 2019 JOINT LONDON MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY ANNUAL LECTURE
This talk looks at mathematical modelling of real, complex fluids in flow situations – some with serious commercial applications, and some just for fun.
Focusing on the chocolate fountain, we experience one of the key day-to-day tools of an applied mathematician, scaling analysis, to answer the question: why doesn’t the chocolate fall straight down?
No reservations are required for this lecture. It will be run on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
Doors will open 30 minutes before the start of the lecture
Helen Wilson is Professor of Applied Mathematics at UCL. Her research focuses on the theoretical and numerical modelling of the flow of non-Newtonian fluids such as particle suspensions and polymeric materials.
