The group directed by Professor Joseph is engaged in research on viscoelastic fluids, multiphase flows, fluidized beds, two-fluid dynamics, and drag reduction. Other projects are concerned with the motion of solid particles and drops and bubbles in Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids. The studies carried out in Joseph's lab are done with the aid of experiments, theory and high performance computing. One project focuses on water lubricating pipelining of heavy crude oils and dispersions. Stability theory shows that the water will stay on the wall where it lubricates the flow of the oil. Drag reductions of the order of the viscosity ratio can be achieved---reductions of a thousandfold or more. Another project is to understand the exceptional enhancements of the rheological properties of semi-dilute aqueous polymeric solutions seeded by small particles and nanoparticles.
Professor Joseph and his collaborators have a new subject in fluid mechanics which is devloped in his recently-published monograph.
