BIOFLUID MECHANICS

by Jagan N Mazumdar (The University of Adelaide)

Biofluid mechanics is the study of a certain class of biological problems from a fluid mechanics point of view. Biofluid mechanics does not involve any new development of the general principles of fluid mechanics but it does involve some new applications of the method of fluid mechanics. Complex movements of fluids in the biological system demand for their analysis professional fluid mechanics skills.


Contents:

  • Introduction
  • Circulatory Biofluid Mechanics
  • Blood Rheology: Properties of Flowing Blood
  • Models of Biofluid Flows, Non-Newtonian Fluids
  • Models for Other Flows
  • Fluid Mechanics of Heart Valves
  • Computational Biofluid Mechanics


Readership: Physiologists, biophysicists and biomathematicians.


"The book is well presented and clearly written ... presents a useful first introduction to the area and could form an excellent base for a graduate course on this topic."
