Applied Biofluid Mechanics

Resumen del libro

Develop better medical devices using the latest fluid mechanics tools and techniquesThis thoroughly revised textbook combines the physiological aspects of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems with cutting-edge fluid mechanics concepts. The book covers all major organ systems and includes detailed illustrations and clinical examples that clearly show the applications of fluid mechanics to biomedical engineering situations. Students will learn to integrate fluid mechanics principles into the design of new medical devices, equipment, and procedures.

Applied Biofluid Mechanics, Second Edition, begins with a review of some of the basics of fluid mechanics and moves on to more advanced topics. Readers will get comprehensive coverage of cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, hematology and blood rheology pulsatile flow, modeling, and mathematical models. This fully updated edition also includes an online solutions manual.
