Local Organisers: Matthias Heil, Paul Dark
The fourth meeting of the UK Physiological Flow Network will focus on the respiratory biomechanics and physiological fluid structure interaction problems. As in previous meetings we will have presentations from UK experts. In addition, plenary presentations will be given by Professor Don Gaver (Tulane, USA) and Professor Frank Baaijens (Eindhoven, Netherlands). We also had a large number of contributed posters covering a wide-range of topics.
Similar
to the third
physiological meeting a PhD student poster competition during
the
meeting. The three winning posters were:
First
prize: "Inhomogeneous
reopening of a bifurcating flexible airway"
Peter Stewart, University of Nottingham (0.6Mb)
Runner-up:"Analytical
and computational investigations of sub cellular variations in LDL
concentration polarisation on the luminal side of the endothelium",
Peter Vincent, Imperial College London (1Mb)
Runner-up:
"Evidence of LV wall
movement actively decelerating aortic blood flow"
Chloe Page, Brunel University (0.25Mb)
This
page now
contains a list of the
contributing speakers and copies, where available, of their
presentations.
