ME-UY 4643 Biofluid Mechanics3 Credits
This course elaborates on the application of fluid mechanics principles to major biological systems, in particular human organ systems. The course will provide an introduction to physiologically relevant fluid flow phenomena, underlying physical mechanisms from an engineering perspective. The focus of the course is on the integration of different fluid mechanics concepts to address relevant problems of the human body systems. Topics covered will include blood rheology, mechanics of circulation arterial wave propagation, oscillatory air and liquid flows and transport of suspended solutes, and how dysregulation of biofluid mechanics relates to disease.
Prerequisite(s): ME-UY 3313 and BMS-UY 1004
