Biofluid Dynamics & Biofluidics
Biofluid Dynamics is the study of fluid flow through elastic flexible tissue. The computation and modeling of fluid-solid interactions reveal complex relationships among wall visco-elasticity, fluid viscosity and fluid velocity in many parts of the human body, including the circulatory, lymphatic, ocular and pulmonary systems.
Biofluid Dynamics involves cooperation among several disciplines: fluid mechanics, computational biology, human physiology, as well as molecular and developmental biology.
Advancements in fluid dynamics will improve our ability to target drugs to tissues, transport substrates into cells, treat vascular and other diseases, design invasive medical devices, and synthesize tissue engineered constructs.
