DESCRIPTION:Dr Giuseppe Zampogna\nIn Nature\, fluid-structure interactions
  are often characterized by separation of scales\, due to the presence of 
 small-scale roughness on macroscopic surfaces. It is the case\, for instan
 ce\, of the scales which cover the wings of the butterflies or the shark
 ’s skin and the microscopic protrusions present on the surface of lotus
 ’ leaves. A way to bypass the complexity of fine-grained numerical simul
 ations is to consider macroscopic approaches which disregard the microscop
 ic properties of the structure aside from the presence of effective tensor
 ial properties which results from the solution of microscopic problems. Th
 is homogenization perspective allows to formally develop a new macroscopic
  boundary condition to be used when an incompressible fluid flows over a r
 ough surface\, together with an univocal definition of the effective prope
 rties of the surface\, such as the slip length and the permeability of the
  rough layer.\n
