• [420] Mechanobiology of Cells and Tissues

  Date:	24 April 2001 - 26 April 2001
  Location:	Nancy, France
  Contact:	Chairpersons: Prof. J.F. Stoltz Angiohématologie-Hémorhéologie, LEMTA UMR CNR 7563 Faculté de Médicine, 9 Avenue de la Foret de Haye 54505 Vandoeuvre-les-Nancy, Cedex, France E-mail: stoltz@hemato.u-nancy.fr Euromech contact person: E. Hopfinger

• [421] Strongly-Coupled Dispersed Two-Phase Flows

  Date:	3 September 2001 - 5 September 2001
  Location:	Grenoble, France
  Contact:	Chairpersons: Dr. Alain Cartellier LEGI BP 53 38041 Grenoble Cedex, France E-mail: alain.cartellier@hmg.inpg.fr Prof. J. Leblond ESPCI, Paris E-mail: jacques.leblond@espci.fr Euromech contact person: E. Hopfinger Website
  Information:	The Colloquium is intended to review current advances on the dynamics of strongly coupled dispersed two-phase flows involving solid particles, droplets or bubbles in which particle-particle interactions or collective behaviors take place and modify the continuous flow field. Such situations typically arise in “laminar” two-phase flows (sedimenting suspensions, bubble columns... ), but also in turbulent conditions (dense fluidized beds, spray dispersion ...) where clustering or collective effects may affect the settling velocities and more generally the turbulent dispersion of the dispersed phase. Contributions will concern both key experiments (including DNS) shedding light on fundamental mechanisms (micro-structure, screening, turbulent dispersion, pseudo-turbulence, turbulence modulation, clustering, large-scale instability, gravity driven two-phase flows...). and the mathematical representation of these effects through refined averaged modeling with emphasis on closures. Some contributions dealing with applications and enlightning the modelling needs will be welcome. This colloquium is intended to favor interactions between fluid mechanicists, physicists, researchers in chemical engineering and mathematicians.

• [422] Pattern formation by Motile Micro-Organisms and Cells

  Date:	3 December 2001 - 5 December 2001
  Location:	University of Leeds, U.K.
  Contact:	Chairpersons: Dr. N.A. Hill Department of Applied Mathematics University of Leeds Leeds, LS2 9JT, U.K. E-mail: n.a.hill@leeds.ac.uk Dr. M.A. Bees Dept. of Mathematics, University of Surrey E-mail: m.bees@surrey.ac.uk Euromech contact person: T.J. Pedley Website
  Information:	This Colloquium will cover recent research on the behaviour and pattern formation by populations of micro-organisms, (e.g. bacteria, algae and slime moulds), as well as by motile cells (such as leukocytes and endothelial cells) which are parts of higher organisms and form structures during growth and in disease. The meeting will promote the sharing of ideas and techniques between the groups, both mathematical and experimental, working in these different areas. Common themes are expected to be - the mechanics of locomotion by pattern forming cells, on a substrate or swimming freely, and - the use of random walk theory to describe individual trajectories and derive continuum models.
