470 Bio-Fluid Dynamics

Wednesday, October 31, 2012: 12:30 PM
409 (Convention Center )
Description:
This session of contributed presentations will focus on the hydrodynamics of 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.
