Applied Biofluid Mechanics features a solid grasp of the role of fluid mechanics in the human circulatory system that will help in the research and design of new medical instruments, equipment, and procedures.

Applied Biofluid Mechanics examines:

• cardiovascular anatomy and physiology
• pulmonary anatomy and physiology
• hematology
• histology and function of blood vessels
• heart valve mechanics and prosthetic heart valves
• stents
• pulsatile flow in large arteries
• flow and pressure measurement
• modeling
• dimensional analysis
