Abstract
This chapter introduces briefly colloids, and in particular emulsions and their importance in the food, medical, cosmetic, polymer, water purification, and pharmaceutical industries. It also highlights the relation between biological suspensions and colloids, which can be studied by using the same approach. The chapter identifies several numerical method used traditionally for studying colloids and biological suspensions.
