Biofluid Mechanics (eBook, ePUB)

The Human Circulation, Second Edition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This classroom-tested text teaches students how fluid mechanics is applied to the study of the human circulatory system. Reflecting changes in the field since the publication of its predecessor, this second edition includes improved figures, additional examples, and more problems at the end of each chapter. It also presents a new chapter on the computational fluid dynamic analysis of the human circulation, which reflects the rapidly increasing use of computational simulations in research and clinical arenas.

Autorenporträt

Krishnan B. Chandran is the Lowell G. Battershell Chair and professor in biomedical engineering, professor in mechanical and industrial engineering, and faculty research engineer in IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering at the University of Iowa. His current research interests include vascular prosthesis and artificial heart valve dynamics, fluid dynamics and mass transport in arteries, and fluid dynamics and atherosclerosis.

Stanley E. Rittgers is a professor emeritus in biomedical engineering at the University of Akron. His research interests include cardiovascular hemodynamics, noninvasive diagnostics, ultrasound Doppler techniques, in vitro flow modeling, arterial bypass grafting, blood shear and vascular hyperplasia, and cardiovascular drug delivery.

Ajit P. Yoganathan is Regents' Professor and associate chair for research, Wallace H. Coulter Distinguished Faculty Chair in biomedical engineering, and director of the Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research areas include cardiovascular fluid dynamics, optimization of cardiovascular surgeries, surgical planning, tissue engineering of heart valves, and the use of MRI and 3D Echo to study blood flow patterns in cardiovascular structures.
