This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications COMPUTATIONAL
MODELING IN BIOLOGICAL FLUID DYNAMICS is based on the proceedings
of a very successful workshop with the same title. The workshop was
an integral part of the September 1998 to June 1999 IMA program on
"MATHEMATICS IN BIOLOGY." I would like to thank the organizing
committee: Lisa J. Fauci of Tulane University and Shay Gueron of
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology for their excellent work
as organizers of the meeting and for editing the proceedings. I
also take this opportunity to thank the National Science Founda
tion (NSF), whose financial support of the IMA made the Mathematics
in Biology program possible. Willard Miller, Jr., Professor and

biological fluid dynamics is the interaction of moving, elastic
boundaries with a surrounding fluid. A complex dynami cal system
describes the motion of red blood cells through the circulatory
system, the movement of spermatazoa in the reproductive tract,
cilia of microorganisms, or a heart pumping blood. The revolution
in computa tional technology has allowed tremendous progress in the
study of these previously intractable fluid-structure interaction
problems.
