Autorenporträt

Élisabeth Guazzelli is Senior Researcher (Directeur de Recherche) at the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique). She did her graduate training in physics at the École Normale Supérieure de Fontenay aux Roses and Université Paris-Sud. Her research interests are in the field of particulate multiphase flows, such as granular media, fluidized beds, suspensions, and sedimentation.

Rezensionen

'The authors introduce theoretical, mathematical concepts through concrete examples, making the material accessible to non-mathematicians ... this is an ideal introduction for students and researchers from other disciplines who are approaching suspension dynamics for the first time.'
