DESCRIPTION:Francesco Boselli\, ETHZ\nIn a first part of the talk\, we wil
 l present a model for the endolymph flow in a healthy SCC. A possible cros
 s-talk between the SCC and the otolith organ is discussed. The governing e
 quations are solved numerically by the method of fundamental solutions (MF
 S). \nIn a second part of the talk\, we will present a model for canalithi
 asis. This is a common pathological condition due to the presence of free 
 floating particles in the SCC and is the major cause of vertigo in humans.
  The particles are modeled by the force coupling method (FCM). This allows
  to treat clusters of finite size particles. The resulting governing equat
 ions are solved by coupling the multilayer MFS with the FCM.
