Principles and Selected Applications by Clement Kleinstreuer offers a thorough introduction to biofluid dynamics. This study book covers fundamental principles and applied topics in medical engineering. The content focuses on continuum mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mechanics of materials, relevant to medical implants and devices.
The book is suitable for senior students and first-year master’s students in engineering and physics, as well as professionals in the medical and medical implant industry. It consists of two parts: theory (the first two chapters) and selected applications (the rest of the book). The theory covers physical and biological transport processes such as mass, momentum, and heat transfer. In addition, topics include two-phase flow, biomechanics, and fluid-structure interaction.
The practical segments focus on the cardiovascular system, organ systems, targeted drug delivery, and stent-graft implantations. Additional aids include a biology glossary, clear figures, worked example problems, and mathematical appendices.
