The editors place emphasis on experimental and numerical advances in the area of complex fluids. The journal offers comprehensive insight into characterization and understanding of technologically important materials with a wide range of practical applications.  Articles include research into

  • deformation and flow of materials
  • experimental and numerical advances in complex fluids research
  • characterization of technologically important materials
