Biofluid mechanics is a branch of science that deals with fluid mechanics in living organisms. Progress in biofluid mechanics has led to extraordinary advancements in biology, including the development of the artificial hearts, heart valves, stents, and more. This new and expanded edition of Biofluid Dynamics of Human Body Systems is a comprehensive guide on the physical and chemical properties of fluids in the human body, covering the circulatory, respiratory, brain, urinary, digestive, and maternal fetal systems.

Offering a complete presentation of the physics and applications of bioheat and biofluid transport in the human body and organ systems, this volume also illustrates the necessary methodology and physics associated with the mathematical modeling of heat and mass exchange in our body. It discusses applications of dimensional analysis in bioengineering as well as bioheat and biomass transfer in the human body.
