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 for future research efforts in the subject area.- 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.

Biofluid Mechanics: An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Macrocirculation, and Microcirculation shows how fluid mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation, but also to air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement, renal transport among other specialty circulations. This new second edition increases the breadth and depth of the original by expanding chapters to cover additional biofluid mechanics principles, disease criteria, and medical management of disease, with supporting discussions of the relevance and importance of current research. Calculations related both to the disease and the material covered in the chapter are also now provided.- Uses language and math that is appropriate and conducive for undergraduate learning, containing many worked examples and end-of-chapter problems- Develops all engineering concepts and equations within a biological context- Covers topics in the traditional biofluids curriculum, and addresses other systems in the body that can be described by biofluid mechanics principles- Discusses clinical applications throughout the book, providing practical applications for the concepts discussed- NEW: Additional worked examples with a stronger connection to relevant disease conditions and experimental techniques- NEW: Improved pedagogy, with more end-of-chapter problems, images, tables, and headings, to better facilitate learning and comprehension of the material

Biofluid Mechanics: An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Macrocirculation, and Microcirculation, Third Edition shows how fluid mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation, but also to air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement, renal transport, and other specialty circulations. This new edition contains new homework problems and worked examples, including MATLAB-based examples. In addition, new content has been added on such relevant topics as Womersley and Oscillatory Flows. With advanced topics in the text now denoted for instructor convenience, this book is particularly suitable for both senior and graduate-level courses in biofluids.

Uses language and math that is appropriate and conducive for undergraduate and first-year graduate learning Contains new worked examples and end-of-chapter problems Covers topics in the traditional biofluids curriculum, also addressing other systems in the body Discusses clinical applications throughout the book, providing practical applications for the concepts discussed Includes more advanced topics to help instructors teach an undergraduate course without a loss of continuity in the class
