Biofluid Mechanics

What it is about

You learn how fluid mechanics is applied to biological systems, in particular blood flow in vessels and flow in the lungs. By the end you will be able to use fluid-mechanical principles and mathematical as well as numerical methods to describe and simulate biological processes.

What you will be able to do

• Apply fluid-mechanical principles to biological systems
• Understand mathematical solutions for body flows
• Use numerical simulations of fluid-mechanical processes
• Explain biological phenomena based on fluid-mechanical observations

What the module consists of

• VorlesungDelivery of content on theory, examples and derivations

Teaching method

• Tablet-PC-based presentationDerivations and sample solutions are written live; students fill gaps in the script
• Distribution of lecture slidesPost-processing: written slides are made available to students
