Title: Scientific computing: biofluids applications

Abstract: Computational tools can play a major role in driving discovery in many challenging problems facing society today. Nevertheless, biological application typically involve complex shapes, moving boundaries, fluid-structure interactions, pulsatile flows, and a wide range of scales, which is quite challenging even to the most advanced numerical techniques. In this talk, an overview of a numerical method that overcomes some of these challenges in presented. Then two specific examples in which scientific computing has led to solving real world problems and discovery will be discussed.
