| Outline of Research at the Start |
The applicant will study the flow of complex fluids around micron sized canopies (arrays of pillars). The goal is to determine if the flow becomes unstable or turbulent depending on the properties of the liquid or the geometry of the canopy. Potentially helping us understand the flow around cilia.
