[edit] Physics of Pulsatile Flow

Intended for students and researchers in biophysics, biology, medicine, bioengineering, the book presents a complete and coherent treatment of the mathematics and physics of hemodynamics in a style accessible to those in biology and medicine.

Flow in a tube is one of the most important problems in fluid dynamics because of its wide range of biological applications. It is also one of the simplest, as only two forces are at play: the pressure difference between the two ends of the tube, which acts as a driving force, and viscous shear between the fluid and the tube wall, which acts as a retarding force. In pulsatile flow the pressure difference between the two ends of a tube varies periodically in time, most commonly the pressure being fixed at one end and oscillating at the other. This book presents the most elementary form of pulsatile flow as an important prerequisite for the study of other flow applications in biological systems. The goal of this book is to provide in a single source a complete treatment of the fluid dynamics of flow with the required mathematics and emphasis on the basis mechanics. The style and level of the book will be accessible to students and researchers in biophysics, biology, medicine, bioengineering and applied mathematics working in theoretical and clinical work on the cardiovascular system, as well as in the design of new instrumentation, medical imaging systems, and artificial organs. This book will include problems and excercises.
