LABORATOIRE RHEOLOGIE ET PROCEDES

The Rheology and Processes Laboratory (UMR 5520) was created in 1992, during the restructuring of the Mechanics Institute of Grenoble (IMG). It is a Joint Research Unit between the CNRS, Grenoble INP and the University of Grenoble Alpes which is dedicated to the rheology of complex fluids, processes and their intensification.

Our research activities relate to two major disciplines: "complex fluid mechanics" with a focus on multiphase fluids and microfluidic approaches, and "process engineering" with recognized expertise in ultrasonic intensification and a rich activity around composites biosourced products, boosted by our partnerships within the Institut Carnot PolyNat.
These disciplines are currently divided into three themes:
- Dynamics and Transfers in Complex Fluids (DyFCo)
- Rheo-physics of Soft Matter (RhyMM)
- Processes, Shaping and Intensification (ProMI)
