Biofluid mechanics analysis and applications

"Biofluid mechanics embraces the flow of life. It is intimate and personal and situates at the intersection of engineering, physics, mathematics and biology. The author has dual expertise in fluid mechanics and medicine, and shares this unique perspective for the book's two major goals: (1...
