Pupose: Every week this group meets in an informal setting to discuss problems from (bio)fluid and gel dynamics related to our research or just for fun. The topics we discuss include, but are not limited to, modeling biological fluids, computational fluid dynamics, modeling gels, scientific computation, and physiological modeling. The purpose of this meeting is to learn from our colleagues by both leading and participating in the discussions.
Meeting Schedule: Spring semester 2008 meetings are on FRIDAYS at 2:00 in LCB 322.
