TitleHinch, Edward John: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date1990
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationHinch is a powerful applied mathematician with an outstanding physical insight who is distinguished for his seminal contributions to physico-chemical hydrodynamics. His most important papers have been in the related fields of colloidal dispersions, Brownian motion, suspension rheology, polymer dynamices, drop deformation and break-up, electroviscous effects, and oil recovery. His "averaged-equation approach" published in 1977 was the first systematic method of determining collective properties of dispersions affected by strong particle interactions. He has made similarly definitive contributions to the rheology of a solution of flexible polymer macromolecules,and (in collaboration with J.M Rallison) to the effect of particle interactions on dynamic light scattering from a dispersion. He has devoted much time and skill to the solution of problems arising in industry.
