         Modeling Complex Fluids Using Lattice Boltzmann and 
               Dissipative Particle Dynamics Methods

The flow of complex fluids plays important role in a wide variety of
environmental and technical processes and is of fundamental interest.
Some examples of complex fluids are polymer blends, fresh concrete,
and colloidal suspensions. In this talk I will discuss the computational
modeling of such fluid systems using the lattice Boltzmann method
and dissipative particle dynamics. Results will be presented 
concerning the phase separation of binary mixtures under shear
and the flow of dense suspensions. Some research challenges will also be
discussed.
