AbstractIntroduction to the fluid dynamics of the human body and the modeling of physiological flow processes (biomedical fluid dynamics).
ObjectiveA basic understanding of fluid dynamical processes of the human body. Knowledge of the basic concepts of fluid dynamics and the ability to apply these concepts appropriately.
ContentThis lecture is an introduction to the fluid dynamics of the human body (biomedical fluid dynamics). For selected topics of human physiology, we introduce fundamental concepts of fluid dynamics (e.g., creeping flow, incompressible flow, flow in porous media, flow with particles, fluid-vessel interaction) and use them to model physiological flow processes. The list of studied topics includes the cardiovascular system and related diseases, respiratory fluiddynamics, fluiddynamics of the inner ear, blood rheology, microcirculation, and blood flow regulation.
Lecture notesA script is provided in pdf-form.
LiteratureA list of books on selected topics of biofluiddynamics will be provided.
