About
The GFR (Groupe Français de Rhéologie) celebrates its 60th anniversary with a conference to be held in Marseille from October 22 to 25, 2024. Covering rheology in its broadest sense, this conference is intended to be very open and multidisciplinary: from foams, gels, suspensions and granular media, to the rheology at/with interfaces, food rheology, all the way to living fluids and geophysical systems.
Our intent is to bring together several communities currently very active in France. Firstly, those working on biological fluids and tissues, where rheology and mechanical constraints are becoming increasingly important, as for instance in tissue morphogenesis to better understand embryonic development and cell differentiation. Then, the community devoted to geo-physical fluids where the investigated media are often very complex and require appropriate descriptions. Finally, the granular media and dense suspensions community, where significant progress has been made over the last ten years, in particular through the study of the effect of how micro-interactions (friction, adhesion, entanglement) affect the rheological behavior of these systems — A great opportunity to gather and share our latest advances, both fundamental and technical, in these highly varied fields of research.
Four scientists are invited to give a plenary lecture, including the winner of the Maurice Couette Prize. The congress will be organized around five thematic sessions, a poster session and an exhibition of scientific instruments.

Program
Detailed program and poster session program to be announced
The conference (23-25th of October) will take place in amphi Gastaut in the Jardin du Pharo in Marseille.
It is preceded by a day of lectures (22st of October) at IUSTI Laboratory.
Invited Speakers
Oryaelle Chevrel (LMV, IRD)
Olivier Pouliquen (IUSTI, CNRS)
Sham Tlili (IBDM, CNRS)
Courses
This day will consist of 3 lectures summing-up the progresses made over the last 10 years in the description of dense granular suspensions. Particular focus will be made on the role of microscopic interactions between particles (friction, adhesion, repulsive forces, …), underlining their primary importance in determining the macroscopic rheological behavior of these systems.
Jean Comtet (CNRS, ESPCI Paris)
Microscopic characterization and formulation of solid interfaces
Francisco Melo da Rocha (IUSTI, Marseille)
Macroscopic rheological behavior of dense granular suspensions from microscopic considerations
François Peters (InPhyNi, Nice)
Numerical simulations of dense granular suspensions
The day of Lectures will take place at Laboratory IUSTI, Technopole de Chateau Gombert, 5 rue Enrico Fermi, 13453 Marseille.
Access (count 35 minutes from Vieux port):
Take Metro 1 until terminus La Rose,
Take bus B3B until the third stop Polytech Marseille.
