Dear Koichi,
I suggest that you contact Prof. Carvalho directly to tell him about
your plans. You may copy me if you like.
His e-mail address is msc@puc-rio.br
As for reading related to the research theme, you should certainly look
Marcio's papers on this topic, especially
those with Jaewook Nam. You might also take a look at the PhD thesis of
Jaewook Nam. Marcio may have
additional suggestions.
Could you please remind me of your background? For example, have you
studied fluid mechanics and rheology before?
Do you have experience with numerical methods generally and the finite
element method specifically?
This well help me suggest some suitable reading.
Best regards,
Satish
