Both broad and deep in coverage, Biofluid Mechanics: An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Macrocirculation, and Microcirculation 2e 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. Clinical applications, extensive worked examples, and numerous end of chapter problems clearly show the applications of fluid mechanics to biomedical engineering situations. In this new edition, chapters in Parts II - IV have been extended to cover disease criteria, medical management of the discussed diseases, calculations related both to the disease and the material covered in the chapter, and overall relevance in relation to current research, while Part V, Modeling and Experimental Techniques, has been extended to provide a more thorough discussion of biofluid mechanics techniques. * Uses language and math that is appropriate and conducive for undergraduate learning, containing many worked examples and end of chapter problems * All engineering concepts and equations are developed within a biological context * Covers topics in the traditional biofluids curriculum, as well as addressing other systems in the body that can be described by biofluid mechanics principles, such as air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement, and renal transport * Clinical applications are discussed throughout the book, providing practical applications for the concepts discussed. * Additional worked examples with a stronger connection to relevant disease conditions and experimental techniques have been added to this edition* Contains Improved pedagogy, with more end-of-chapter problems, images, tables and headings, to better facilitate learning and comprehension of the material
