Zusammenfassung:The goals of this research are: to understand and clarify the physical mechanism underlying the electrorheological (ER) response of fluids and establish an ab initio theory for the phenomenon; to study the structure of ER fluids and their properties, to investigate the change of viscosity of ER fluids with an applied electric field; to apply the ER phenomenon to liquid fuel flows, to control their viscosity and hence their velocity; to examine the necessary theoretical and technique problems associated to the design of a new class of liquid fuel control devices which are based on the ER phenomenon.
