Based on lecture notes from the School on Rheology of Complex Fluids, this book discusses how to understand multicomponent-multiphase systems of which most of complex fluids are examples. The book covers a wide variety of application areas.

---

The aim of the School on Rheology of Complex fluids is to bring together young researchers and teachers from educational and R&D institutions, and expose them to the basic concepts and research techniques used in the study of rheological behavior of complex fluids. The lectures will be delivered by well-recognized experts. The book contents will be based on the lecture notes of the school.
