MANE 6190 - Bio-Fluid Mechanics

This course introduces the fundamental circulatory bio-fluid mechanics, blood rheology, and governing laws of physiological blood flows. The course involves theoretical and numerical modeling of simple study cases and research in clinical applications. The main topics will cover fundamentals of fluid mechanics and physical principles of circulation, blood rheology: properties of flowing blood, blood flows in vessels, veins, coronary arteries, microcirculation, models of biofluids, computational biofluid mechanics, and fluid in the lung.
