This work traces the development of numerical methods for non-Newtonian flows from the late 1960s to 2001. It begins with broad coverage of non-Newtonian fluids, including their mathematical modelling and analysis, and then specific computational techniques are discussed.
Modern day high-performance computers are making available to 21st-century scientists solutions to rheological flow problems of ever-increasing complexity. Computational rheology is a fast-moving subject - problems which only 10 years ago were intractable, such as 3D transient f…
