Introduction

Fluid Dynamics is a discipline that has increasing importance in biology. This summer school is intended for researchers in Biological Fluid Dynamics. It will concentrate on the use of three-dimensional numerical simulation to model cardiovascular flows. Its objectives are to introduce newcomers to bio-fluid numerical simulation and to present the current state-of-the-art to more experienced researchers.

The course will give the opportunity to the participants to share their experiences in this multidisciplinary field, which involves many different competencies.

Morning lectures will first provide a theoretical background on clinical data acquisition, volume reconstruction from clinical images, mesh generation. Extensive courses on computational fluid dynamics and fluid structure interaction simulations will then show their specificities when applied to biofluids.

Numerical projects will be run in the afternoon so that researchers may work on hands-on problems and get some practical experience. The lectures will therefore be illustrated by applications in patient-specific modeling of cardiovascular problems.

The course will give the opportunity to the participants to share their experiences in this multidisciplinary field, which involves many different competencies.

The summer school will be hosted by the University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC). UTC has a special position among the French universities. Founded in 1973, one of its duties was to link student training, research and industry. More specifically, UTC pioneered the field of biomedical engineering in France, hosting specialists in solid and fluid biomechanics, biomaterials, artificial organs, physiology, medical signals and images, and further areas.
