The School of Mathematical Sciences
at the
University of the West of England, Bristol

is running a two-day meeting on

Complex Fluids

16-17 June 2003

The meeting will cover aspects of fluid dynamics of complex fluids, including non-Newtonian fluids, superfluids and stratified interfacial flows and related numerical methods. The aim of the meeting is to inform the academic community of the diverse range of activity within complex fluids research, and to stimulate future areas of research and collaboration. All participants are invited to give a poster presentation of their work.

The meeting will take place in 2Q42 at the Frenchay Campus, UWE, Bristol. For directions to the University please click here. The nearest available carpark is carpark 9.
