Requiring only an introductory background in continuum mechanics,
including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics,
Biofluid Dynamics: Principles and Selected Applications contains
review, methodology, and application chapters to build a solid
understanding of medical implants and devices. For additional
assistance, it includes a glossary of biological terms, many
figures illustrating theoretical concepts, numerous solved sample
problems, and mathematical appendices. The text is geared toward
seniors and first-year graduate students in engineering and physics
as well as professionals in medicine and medical implant/device
industries. It can be used as a primary selection for a
comprehensive course or for a two-course sequence. The book has two
main parts: theory, comprising the first two chapters; and
applications, constituting the remainder of the book. Specifically,
the author reviews the fundamentals of physical and related
biological transport phenomena, such as mass, momentum, and heat
transfer in biomedical systems, and highlights complementary topics
such as two-phase flow, biomechanics, and fluid-structure
interaction. Two appendices summarize needed elements of
engineering mathematics and CFD software applications, and these
are also found in the fifth chapter. The application part, in form
of project analyses, focuses on the cardiovascular system with
common arterial diseases, organ systems, targeted drug delivery,
and stent-graft implants. Armed with Biofluid Dynamics, students
will be ready to solve basic biofluids-related problems, gain new
physical insight, and analyze biofluid dynamics aspects of
biomedical systems.
