Analysis on Oldroyd and related fluids Models

Dr. Fang-Hua Lin

Courant Institute at New York University

Abstract:   We shall discuss some recent work concerning Oldroyd type models for fluids made of elastic particles(Viscoelastic fluids,liquid crystals...)or fluids with special microscopic properties and structures(often refered as complex fluids).To develop a general theory for fluids with multiscale inputs may be rather difficult,we concentrated here a few analytical issues.
