Recent Advances in Hemodynamics and Blood Mimetics

Recent Advances in Hemodynamics and Blood Mimetics is a comprehensive compilation of recent developments in biofluid mechanics and biomimetics, covering topics such as numerical modelling, biomedical applications of microfluidics, biomimetic flows, biomedicine applications, and organ-on-chip technology. This book explores blood hemodynamics at different scales, including application to diseases, the relationship between blood biomechanics and rheology, the mimetisation of blood properties at arterial and capillary level, including the study of blood mechanical and flow properties, flow and surface properties of blood cells, mimetisation of these same properties in fluid/particle systems. These concepts are applied to the development of organ-on-chip to improve the replication of biological processes in the human body. The book organizes recent knowledge on hemodynamics and blood mimetics and is representative of the different lines of research in the field, showing an integrated view of blood biomechanics encompassing all scales to create a valuable resource where different research lines can be found and their principles understood.
