Description
BIOFLUID MECHANICS: AN INTRO TO FLUID MECHANICS, MACROCIRCULATION AND MICROCIRCULATION is a comprehensive textbook that bridges classical fluid mechanics with biological applications in the cardiovascular system. Published by Elsevier, this work by Rubenstein provides students and practitioners with a thorough understanding of how fluid mechanics principles govern blood flow throughout the body.
The text systematically covers fundamental fluid mechanics concepts before progressing to their specific applications in macrocirculation (large blood vessels) and microcirculation (capillaries and small vessels). Through detailed explanations and practical examples, readers learn how pressure gradients, viscosity, flow patterns, and vessel geometry influence cardiovascular function. This integrated approach makes complex physiological processes accessible while maintaining scientific rigor, making it an essential resource for biomedical engineering students, medical professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the mechanical basis of cardiovascular physiology.
