Objectives
The scientific scope of this Colloquium on 揈xperimental and Computational Biofluid
Mechanics?aims to provide opportunities for scientists to meet each other and to discuss their
current research on Biofluid Mechanics. The main topics focus on experimental and
computational modelling of unsteady flows within the human airways and the circulatory
system. Contributions concerning the fluid mechanical fundamentals of the flow in the upper,
e.g. the human nose, the vocal tract, and lower airways, i.e. the lung airways, are expected.
The study of such problems should improve the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of ventilation. For the circulatory system contributions are solicited, which
concentrate on unsteady flows in geometries with moving boundaries such as in natural and artificial heart valves. Experimental and numerical investigations are to be performed in vivo or using appropriate models. The measurements and the numerical simulations should provide
the unsteady three-dimensional nature of the flow and should allow qualitative and quantitative comparisons of the flow phenomena like vortices, separations, shear layers etc.
Special fields of interest
?Flow in the lung airways
?Fluid mechanics of ventilation
?Flow in the nose and the larynx
?Heart valve and coronary flow
?Microfluidics
Topics
?Biofluid mechanics in the human airways and
the circulatory system
?Computational biofluid mechanics
?In vivo and in vitro flow field measurements
?Treatment of unsteady flows within complex
geometries with moving boundaries
