There are numerous approaches and tools for modelling of mechanical and biological processes based on a fluid flow with immersed objects. To name just few of them: Blood flow, biological solutions with purified cells, flow in microfluidic chambers, and many others… These approaches and tools can significantly improve the design process of real experiments.
The aim of this symposium is to push forward the knowledge in the described area. We hope that during the symposium the ideas will be exchanged, the latest developments will be discussed and, possibly, new cooperation links will be established.
The main topics include, but are not limited to:
Blood flow modelling on the level of individual cells
Fluid flow modelling of microfluidic devices
Cell affinity models
Mechanical models for cells
Large scale computations of blood flow; parallel and GPU issues
Magnetic particles in microfluidics
Biological aspects of microfluidics
Fluid flow simulation tools
