Computer simulation has received attention as "computational rheology" since about ten years ago. Flow analysis with rheological properties is recognized to be a useful and necessary tool for mold and die design in polymer processing CAE (Computer Aided Engineering). Moreover, dynamics simulation has been scientifically applied for studying the polymer dynamics and predicting the rheological properties of polymer melts and particle-dispersed suspensions. Here, numerical methods and recent topics related to rheology are reviewed.
