Motivation and Objectives
In recent years there is a growing interest in the simulation and modeling of flows in living organisms. The main applications are related to blood flow in the vessels and airflow in the respiratory tract. But also other applications such as e.g. fluid and solute transport in bones, artificial blood pumps, phonation and speech production fall into the category of biological flows.
The aim of the present thematic conference is to bring together scientists and researchers working in this field and providing them a forum for discussion and technical exchanges in this rapidly growing field.
This is the first thematic ECCOMAS conference on this topic. It will be held at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium and is organized by VUB and Von Karman Institute, from 21st to 23th September 2011.
