Complex fluids are abundant in our daily life. Unlike traditional solids, liquids and the diluted solutions, the model equations for complex fluids continue to evolve with the new experimental evidences and emerging applications. Most of these important properties are due to the coupling and competition between effects from different scales or even from different physical origins/principles. The energetic variational approaches (EnVarA), motivated by the seminal works of Onsager and Rayleigh, are designed to study such systems. In this talk, I will discuss several complex fluid systems, and the associated mathematical issues.
