Abstract：
In this talk, an introduction to the theory of rheology and non-Newtonian fluids is provided as the background on mathematical modeling of flows in industrial devices. Applications and challenges in solving the Navier-Stokes (NS) problems arising from engineering design of polymer extrusion dies in industries are demonstrated. The implications of collaborations between universities and industries are discussed through the experience in Kazakhstan and in the USA. Recent results will be presented from the research projects funded by Kazakhstan Ministry of Education (AP05134166) and Nazarbayev University (021220FD4651). Future research plans on particle filled fluids, coating die free boundary flows, solid fluid interactions, flow distribution manifold design and body optimization are discussed.
