生体流体力学

Biological systems have a hierarchical structure, from organs, cells, and molecules. Every function at each level yields to mechanical laws under an internal and external mechanical forces. Therefore, this course focuses on fluid dynamics as one of the fundamental mechanics of biological functions. The courses will be conducted to deepened understanding of fluid phenomena in the body systematically through classes and assignments.
The lectures will be given on the basics of flow phenomena in the body, and the anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system as well as applied fields such as interactions between blood flow and blood vessel walls, and heat transfer. We will also touch on clinical applications in how a flow induced mechanical stress affects vascular diseases such as heart disease and cerebrovascular disorders.
