Development of an efficient finite volume computational platform for the simulation of complex flows of complex fluids governed by the Rolie-Poly model

The flow of non-Newtonian fluids, also known as complex fluids, is an important area of fluid mechanics due to their applications in industries such as food processing, mining, chemical and plastic industries. It is therefore essential to understand the flow and general behaviour of such fluids. Exa...
