Fluid Mechanics in Living Systems

10:30 AM - 5:30 PM
Skylight room

Life has been a source of interesting fluid mechanics problems for more than a century.  There has been a renaissance in the subject, and we will sample exciting recent work on the design principles of ciliary flows, cytoplasmic movements in a developing embryo, and the strategies used by fish to sense flow in their surroundings. Speakers will be Eva Kanso, USC; Matt McHenry, UC Irvine; and Massimo Vergasolla, ENS. Lectures will be accessible to students and there will be plenty of time for informal discussion.
