Opis

Biofluid Dynamics builds a solid understanding of medical implants and devices from a bioengineering standpoint. Review, methodology, and application chapters feature numerous figures illustrating theoretical concepts, solved sample problems, computer simulations of biofluid dynamics processes and medical device operations, and mathematical appendices. The author provides a glossary of biological terms and includes homework problems and project assignments to stimulate critical thinking and build problem-solving skills as well as a 16-page color insert. 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.
