The teaching provides the foundations for understanding the dynamics of biological motions, with particular reference to the motion of fluids in the human body. The following topics will be covered: blood flow in the cardiovascular system (movement in the heart, arteries, capillaries, veins), fluid dynamics of the ureter and eye.
Basic notions of mathematics and mechanics.
Combination of traditional lectures and classroom work on a project.
Introduction to biofluid dynamics.
Blood rheology.
Fluid mechanics of the hearth
Flow in large arteries
Flow in the microcirculation.
Ocular fluid mechanics.
