Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Viscosity

Manuel A. Alves spends much of his time researching Mechanics, Viscoelasticity, Flow, Newtonian fluid and Constitutive equation. He interconnects Classical mechanics and Thermodynamics in the investigation of issues within Mechanics. His Viscoelasticity research includes elements of Microfluidics, Rheology and Instability.

His study in Flow is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Particle image velocimetry, Secondary flow and Vortex. His studies in Newtonian fluid integrate themes in fields like Rheometer, Pressure drop and Volumetric flow rate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Applied mathematics and Finite volume method in addition to Constitutive equation.

His most cited work include:

  • A convergent and universally bounded interpolation scheme for the treatment of advection (277 citations)
  • Benchmark solutions for the flow of Oldroyd-B and PTT fluids in planar contractions (186 citations)
  • Analytical solution of mixed electro-osmotic/pressure driven flows of viscoelastic fluids in microchannels (160 citations)
