About the Nordic Rheology Society

The Nordic Rheology Society engages people interested in rheology in the Nordic countries.

Vision

To promote and propagate rheology at all levels throughout the Nordic Countries.

Mission

To promote and propagate rheology at all levels by building a broad forum where academia and industry, in their applicational and theoretical guises can meet, share and discuss ideas to their mutual benefit.

Rheology

Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation and flow of matter, which means that rheology in some form enters almost every study of material properties. In the Nordic countries, rheological measurements have become standard techniques in both industrial and academic research. The Nordic Rheology Society has been formed as a meeting ground for engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists engaged in rheology in industry and academia.

Member services

  • The annual NRC, the Nordic Rheology Conference features invited speakers of international standing as well as sessions on general rheology. Contributing papers are published in the Annual Transactions of the NRS which is distributed to the members. The NRC also offers an exhibition of rheological equipment, poster display and rheology courses which makes it the leading meeting place for industry and academia in the Nordic countries.
  • Access to the member pages on this web site including PDF-articles from the NRS Annual Transaction, and the member directory.
  • Permission to post News on the NRS web site.
  • Information about local rheology events.

Webinar Series by Netzsch: Yield Stress Unlocked - Exploring the Science and Applications of Complex Fluids
Netzsch is offering a webinar series on yield stress fluids.

Yield stress fluids are common in daily life and industry. Examples are many: toothpaste, mud, lava, cement, foams, mayonnaise, hair gel, chocolate, and more. Their archetypal feature is a dual response to applied stress: below a critical threshold (the yield stress) they behave like solids, while above it they flow like liquids. The flow characteristics of such materials are difficult to predict, as solid-like and liquid-like regions are generally not known a priori. These complexities, together with their wide range of applications, have been fascinating researchers across mathematics, chemical engineering, and fluid mechanics.

In this six-part webinar series, we explore the complex rheology of yield stress fluids and how it governs flow, stability, and performance across diverse processes and applications. The series brings together leading researchers from around the world—UBC (Canada), Cal Poly (USA), Strathclyde (UK), TU Delft (Netherlands), and ULaval (Canada)—to share practical methods and case studies spanning oil well cementing, gas emission from ponds, bioprinting, sustainability-driven materials, particle manipulation, and multiphase flows of yield stress fluids.
