Session: Complex-Fluid and Bio-Fluid Dynamics I (2009 Annual Meeting)

Tuesday, November 10, 2009: 12:30 PM

Jackson D (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:

This session of contributed presentations will focus on the hydrodynamics of complex fluids and bio-fluids. Topics of interest include the dynamics of biomolecules (e.g., proteins and single DNA chains), blood flow, hydrodynamic separation of particles and cells, and hydrodynamic phenomena in drug-delivery systems.
