Biofluids Modeling: Methods, Perspectives, and Solutions

The first book offering analytical and  modern computational solutions to important biofluids problems, such as  non-Newtonian flows in blood vessels, clogged arteries and veins,  bifurcated arteries and veins, arbitrary stent geometries, tissue  properties prediction, and porous media Darcy flow simulation in  large-scale organ analysis, this is a must-have for any library.

This  book introduces new methods for biofluids modeling and biological  engineering. The foregoing subjects are treated rigorously, with all  modeling assumptions stated and solutions clearly derived. But that’s  not all. Key supporting physics-based ideas, algorithmic details, and  software design interfaces are equally emphasized, in order to support  our overriding objective of getting the anatomical and clinical  information that physicians need. 

Importantly, this  volume provides a self-contained exposition that includes all required  biological concepts, plus the background preparation needed in fluid  mechanics, basic differential equations, and modern numerical analysis.  The presentation style will appeal to medical practitioners,  researchers, biomedical engineers, and students interested in  quantitative fluid flow modeling, as well as engineering students eager  to learn about advances in a rapidly growing and changing biological  science. As such, the book represents “must-reading” suitable at the  advanced undergraduate level, and motivated readers should be able to  embark on related research following guided study.
