Description
Complex fluids play an important role in daily life, biology, and industrial applications. Due to their highly nonlinear nature, constructing numerical methods to model complex fluid flow is particularly challenging. I will discuss some of the reasons for this numerical difficulty, and outline a flexible numerical scheme that partially overcomes some of these problems.
