Fluid inertia and end effects in rheometer flows

This thesis is concerned with the characterisation of the flow behaviour of inelastic and viscoelastic fluids in steady shear and oscillatory shear flows on commercially available rheometers. The first part of this thesis is concerned with a linear viscoelastic theory to describe the oscillatory she...
