Abstract (EN): Topical Collection Information Dear Colleagues, Non-Newtonian Fluids exhibit a non-linear relationship between the applied stress and its rate of deformation. The spectrum of rheological behaviours is vast and there is not a unique constitutive equation able to express all their features. In fact, modelling specific rheological behaviours, viscoelasticity of polymeric solutions is challenging, and it is yet a matter of active research. The success in the development of these constitutive models relies on the accuracy of rheometrical data set, which depending on the nature of the complex fluid can also be rather difficult. Moreover, the success of the numerical simulations predicting the flow of these complex fluids in real applications also relies on the quality of the constitutive models. Therefore, the chain rheometry–modeling–simulations is sentenced to a feedback process so that Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics can expand its frontiers of knowledge. This topic collection aims at gathering theoretical, computational and experimental studies where the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid is important. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
