Abstract:
Fluid-structure interaction is ubiquitous in nature and occurs at a wide range of scales, for example swimming microorganisms and the cardiovascular system. Modeling and simulating fluid-structure interaction remains a major mathematical and computational challenge, however, and contributions from many different fields are needed. This special session will focus on recent developments in biological fluid-structure interaction. This research is highly interdisciplinary and brings together areas including engineering, medicine, biology, and mathematics.
