BMED 6350 - Fluid Dynamics and Transport in the Vascular Circulation


The principles of convective diffusion in liquids are discussed as applied to the vascular circulation. Topics include: convective and diffusion boundary layers in internal flows with reacting and/or permeable walls, Taylor dispersion, microhydrodynamics of macromolecules and particles, Brownian motion, mass transport to arterial walls and across cell membranes. This course is intended for first-year graduate students in biomedical engineering and undergraduate seniors with permission of the instructor.

When Offered: Spring term even-numbered years.
