Abstract:
SignificanceScience-based data-driven methods that can describe the rheological behavior of complex fluids can be transformative across many disciplines. Digital rheometer twins, which are developed here, can significantly reduce the cost, time, and energy required to characterize complex fluids and predict their future behavior. This is made possible by combining two different methods of informing neural networks with the rheological underpinnings of a system, resulting in quantitative recovery of a gel's response to different flow protocols. The platform developed here is general enough that it can be extended to areas well beyond complex fluids modeling.

The various IMFs between identical molecules of a substance are examples of cohesive forces. The molecules within a liquid are surrounded by other molecules and are attracted equally in all directions by the cohesive forces within the liquid. However, the molecules on the surface of a liquid are attracted only by about one-half as many molecules. Because of the unbalanced molecular attractions on the surface molecules, liquids contract to form a shape that minimizes the number...
