1. Systemic rheology

The principle of systemic rheology is based on the integration of knowledge from several disciplines, including rheology and process engineering. If we consider that rheological measurements are obtained using macroscopic quantities (torque, angular velocity, etc.), the rheology discipline proves to be a "macroscope" in the sense of J. de Rosnay for the study of complex flowing systems. While traditional rheology essentially considers well-defined and conventional geometries (cone-plane, plane-plane, coaxial cylinders...), a systemic rheology considers complex systems under the "real" conditions of their elaboration, conditioning and use....
