BE525 is
intended to be an introduction to biofluid mechanics in cardiovascular systems, including: viscosity, flow in
tubes, the Bernoulli equation, Poiseuille's law, cardiovascular and
pulmonary anatomy and physiology, blood rheology, a brief
introduction to arterial histology, the mechanics of blood vessels,
pulsatile flow, and flow & pressure measurement. The course
should provide a sufficient background for students who are
interested in doing further work in the area including research in
the area of biomedical fluid mechanics. The course is also intended
to provide a solid background for graduate or undergraduate students
who are planning to work in biomedical related companies where
knowledge of blood flow is important.
