2006 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Complex-Fluid and Bio-Fluid Dynamics I

This session will focus on the hydrodynamics of complex and bio-fluids. Topics 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.
