EPIC move, rotate and deform. Mixing is represented through parcels
splitting and merging. This course will provide participants with
experience running the EPIC model [7] and analysing model output. The
course will be open to a maximum of 25 participants on a first come,
first served basis. Please sign up here [8]. Travel cost (including
accommodation for those travelling from further away) can be reimbursed
for participants external to the University of Leeds. Please register by
10/09/2024.
