Zusammenfassung:Biofluid Mechanics: Principles and Applicationsis a comprehensive reference covering the physiology and engineering aspects of biofluids that is written with engineers and clinicians in mind. This book bridges the gap between the knowledge base of both engineers and clinicians, providing information on physiology for engineers and information on the engineering side of biofluid mechanics for clinicians. In addition, clinical applications of fluid mechanics principles to fluid flows throughout the body are included.All engineering concepts and equations are developed within a biological context, and computational simulation examples are provided. Content covered includes engineering models of human blood, blood rheology in the circulation system, problems in human organs, and their side effects on biomechanics of the cardiovascular system. Provides comprehensive coverage of the subject of biofluid mechanics in one reference, eliminating the need to collate information from different sourcesChapters cover the principles, needs, problems, and solutions to help users identify potential problems and employ solutionsPresents a novel breakdown of fluid flow by organ system, providing a quick and focused reference for clinicians Ostadfar has over 20 years of experience in engineering, and was a co-founder of the company PRI. He has contributed numerous articles to journal publications, and obtained his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Simon Fraser University. His main research interest is biofluid mechanics, specifically whole blood, blood cells and other bio components of the cardiovascular system.
