Your brain has its own waterscape: whether you are reading, thinking or sleeping, fluid flows through or around the brain tissue, clearing waste in the process. These biophysical processes are crucial for the well-being and function of the brain. In spite of their importance we understand them but little, and mathematical and computational modelling could play a crucial role in gaining new insight. In this talk, I will discuss mathematical, numerical and biophysical approaches to understand mechanisms underlying flow and transport in the human brain with an emphasis on coupled systems of partial differential equations with dimension gap > 1.
