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.
Elements of physiology of the circulatory system; blood rheology; properties of flowing blood; models for blood flows, pulsatile flow and relations between pulsatile pressure and flow; turbulence and disturbed flow, non-Newtonian flow; models of flows for other biofluids; pulmonary hemodynamics; the fluid mechanics of heart valves; mechanics of capillary blood flow; computational methods in biofluid mechanics.
"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." G Eason Mathematical Reviews
