Aim
This workshop will gather scientists and physicians from academia and hospitals from Sweden and abroad as well as potential industrial partners to assess the current state-of-the art fluid dynamics research with applications to understanding aerosol transport and respiratory disorders' spreading and potential treatments.
Topics will include: aerosols transport, functional respiratory imaging, fluid dynamics of airway and lung disorders, respiratory fluid dynamics (including treatment), fragmentation and breakup mechanisms of non-Newtonian liquids with relevance to coughing, sneezing and droplets spreading.
Organizers
Mihai Mihaescu, Lisa Prahl Wittberg, and Mario Romero from the Departments of Engineering Mechanics and Computational Science and Technology at KTH, Sweden.
