The scope of the workshop:
Scientific tutorials, talks and posters on flow and dynamics of soft and complex multi-component fluids, such as drops, emulsions and nano-fluids, including in laboratory or natural microfluidic environments. The relation between macroscopic flow patterns and underlying structures at smaller scales will be in focus. The topics are in particular relevant for energy and environment related applications such as natural fluid flow, enhanced oil-recovery, pharmaceutical designs, processing of stronger and lighter materials, film coatings etc.
