Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Description based upon print version of record.
• Includes bibliographical references and index.
• 1. Fluid mechanics basics -- 2. Macrocirculation -- 3. Microcirculation -- 4. Other biological flows within the body -- 5. Modeling and experimental techniques.
• Both broad and deep in coverage, Rubenstein shows that fluid mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation, but also to air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement and renal transport. Each section initiates discussion with governing equations, derives the state equations and then shows examples of their usage. Clinical applications, extensive worked examples, and numerous end of chapter problems clearly show the applications of fluid mechanics to biomedical engineering situations. A section on experimental techniques provides a springboard
