5 lectures on: Linear and nonlinear stability in complex fluids, focusing primarily on elastic instabilities. The lectures will cover the fundamental theory of linear stability, analytical and numerical approaches to solving stability problems and an ove

5 lectures on: Modelling and predicting flows of elastoviscoplastic materials using finite element or finite volume methods. Examples will include buoyancy-driven drop or bubble flow and interaction using surface tracking methods and flows in benchmark g

4 lectures on: Generalised Newtonian Fluid and viscoelastic models, scaling laws, and flow classification metrics. The lectures will provide physical intuition and practical guidelines for selecting and non-dimensionalising constitutive models.

5 lectures on: Multimode constitutive equations for non-Newtonian fluids and quantitative estimation of parameters from rheological data. Emphasis will be on steady and transient rheology, model fitting strategies, and illustrative examples from polymer

4 lectures on: Lubrication equations for non-Newtonian fluids and their simplifications for thin film flows. Applications include lubricated contacts, coating flows, and droplet dynamics, with an emphasis on asymptotic modelling and scaling arguments.

5 lectures on: Modelling using yield-stress fluids, including solvable thin-film flows and variational formulations. The lectures will discuss applications to industrial processes and introduce energy-based stability methods for viscoplastic systems.
