Industrial and Biomedical Applications

Theoretical models for two distinct current applications are described, one industrial on violent water-air interaction during an impact process and the other biomedical on network flow. Each involves Prandtl’s boundary-layer equations, accompanied by very short-scale physical adjustments. Oblique impacts and successive bifurcations are the respective particular themes.
