Publisher Synopsis
This book is an impressive collection of the fluid flow in biological systems. At the same time it is a readable and attractively presented graduate textbook for biomedical engineersthe book represents a model of an interdisciplinary approach. This book is an attempt to maintain our roots in past investigations, while giving us wings to explores future ones. * Titus Petrila, zbMath * Read more...
