First sentence: As indicated by Chaubal et al. [CHA97], "complex fluid" is the term commonly used to describe a wide class of liquid-like materials, in which the relaxation time towards the equilibrium state occurs sufficiently slowly that significant changes in the microstructural configuration, and thus in the macroscopic properties, can be induced by the flow.
