Capillary Flow
Tuesday 1 June 2010
Organisers: Robert Kerr, Ellak Somfai, Björn Stinner
Introduction
In an interdisciplinary cooperation between engineering, physics, mathematics, and the medical school the University of Warwick seeks to develop a new programme that would integrate visualising and measuring blood flow through capillaries with new numerical expertise. This MIR@W day serves to inform about the current state of simulating and visualising these types of flow.
Programme
All talks will be held in MS.03, coffee, lunch, tea and snacks in the Common Room, Mathematics Institute. Getting here.
