Biofluid mechanics : an introduction to fluid mechanics, macrocirculation, and microcirculation /

"Both broad and deep in coverage, Rubenstein shows that fluid mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation, but also to air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement and renal transport. Each section initiates discussion with governing equations,...
