Workshop on Moving Interface Problems and Applications in Biological Flows

(8 - 12 Jan 2007)

Organizing Committee ·  Confirmed Visitors · Overview · Activities · Membership Application

Overview

This workshop will focus on modeling, theory, simulations and applications of moving interface problems in biological flows in the presence of flexible rigid structures as well as interaction between fluids and solids, and on applications of shock wave and bubble dynamics in biological treatment. Here, the moving interfaces of interest are blood flow-tissue interfaces, blood flow-artificial device interface, moving microbes in body liquids, fluid-deformable structure interface, etc. The flow is usually assumed to be incompressible and governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. Some of the topics are:

  • Modeling of biological flows

  • Fluid-elastic interaction in biological flows

  • Moving interfaces and interface boundary conditions

  • Mathematical theory for biological flows

  • Numerical methods for treating moving interfaces

  • Numerical techniques for solving biological flows

  • Numerical simulation of biological flows

  • Shock wave applications in biological treatment

  • Applications of biological flows

Besides the invited lectures to be spread over a 3 day period, there will be two tutorials. One tutorial will have its emphasis on physical modeling and the other on the mathematical aspects.
