Book Description:
Biofliudics has gained in importance in recent years, forcing engineers to redefine mechanical engineering theories and apply them to biological functions. To date, no book has successfully done this. Biofliud Mechanics in Cardiovascular Systems is one of the first books to take an interdisciplinary approach to the subject. Written by a professor and researcher, this book will combine engineering principles with human biology to deliver a text specifically designed for biomedical engineering professionals and students.

From the author:
I have been teaching biomedical fluid mechanics at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology for the past 18 years and have been a little disappointed that I couldn't find a truly interdisciplinary book that combined engineering fluid mechanics with the physiological aspects of the topic. I searched for a book that contained information about topics like prosthetic heart valves, prosthetic arteries, and pulsatile flow, and was also readable by undergraduate engineering students. Biofluid Mechanics in Cardiovascular Systems attempts to do those things and contains two chapters that are explicitly devoted to cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, as well as one chapter devoted to hematology (the study of blood). I used the manuscript for the book as a textbook in my fluid mechanics course last spring, and this winter and it was well received by the students. - Lee Waite Download PW:free-ebook-download.net
