Description
Biological fluid–structure interactions arise in environments ranging from Newtonian liquids to complex non-Newtonian media such as mucus, cytoplasm, and extracellular matrices. This minisymposium focuses on Newtonian and non-Newtonian biofluid mechanics, integrating theoretical analysis, experimental observations, mathematical modeling, and numerical simulations. Topics include microscale locomotion and transport, fluid–structure interactions, rheological effects on biological function, and multiscale biomechanical phenomena. By bringing together diverse methodological perspectives, the minisymposium aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and advance our understanding of biological flows in complex fluid environments.
