Haemodynamics of Arterial Organs

A guide to the use of numerical techniques in biomedicine. It encompasses a variety of fields within biomedicine and focuses on the latest research.

---

Advances in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computer technology are allowing scientists to simulate blood flow in arterial organs with ever-increasing efficiency. However, as understanding of the biological complexity of the cardiovascular system grows, the possibilities of invalid applications of numerical models are also enhanced. This book emphasises the importance of validating numerical predictions using in vitro and/or in vivo measurement data. ? Contains contributions from internationally acknowledged experts in the field. ? Reflects new developments in numerical simulation and experimental techniques for the study of haemodynamics in various arterial organs. ? Highlights comparisons of predictions with laboratory and/or clinical data acquired by means of the most advanced experimental and clinical measurement techniques.
