Rheology: From simple and to complex fluids

The method of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics, with special emphasis on the simulation of a plane Couette flow, and results for simple fluids are reviewed briefly. Then simulation data are presented for complex fluids, in particular for polymeric liquids and anisotropic fluids such as nematic liquid crystals (LC) and ferro-fluids, magneto- or electro-rheological (MR or ER) fluids.
