Numerical Methods for Non-Newtonian Fluids

Non-Newtonian flows and their numerical simulations have abundant literature, as well as many publications. This is the name of the food industry, oil & gas industry, chemical, civil engineering, and bio-sciences, to name just a few. Mathematical and numerical analysis of non-Newtonian fluid flow models provide for the challenge of mathematicians alike.

This volume offers investigations. Results and conclusions that are focused on non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics.

New review of well-known computational methods for the simulation of viscoelastic and viscoplastic types .; Discusses new numerical methods that have to be more than traditional methods; Articles that discuss the numerical simulation of particulate flow for viscoelastic fluids .;
