OVERVIEW

LABORATORIO DI BIOFLUIDODINAMICA is a practical introductory course to fluid mechanics. The course is semi-annual, takes place in the second semester, includes 3 hours of lessons per week and the assignment of 3 training credits.

Working students and students with SLD, disability or other special educational need certificate, are advised to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching and examination methods that, in compliance with the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning modalities.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Practical teaching aimed at acquiring fundamental operational knowledge on types and properties of fluids in relation to biomedical applications.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The module intends to provide the basic knowledge of some material properties. The knowledge of these concepts is aimed at biomedical applications.

Attendance and active participation to lectures and individual study will allow the student:

-acquire knowledge on the properties of fluids and the fundamentals of fluid kinematics;

- learn some techniques and tools for measuring the properties of a liquid;

- visualize and measure the flow field of a fluid;

- deepen methodologies for the analysis of fluid motion;

- apply some principles of hydrodynamics in the laboratory;

- experimenting with models aimed at biomedical applications in the laboratory;

- autonomously use advanced measurement and data analysis techniques.
