| Review: |
This book comprises reviews of new computational techniques to simulate blood–wall interaction in the cardiovascular system. It is the result of two short courses organised by Community Action Programme for the Education and Training of Technology (COMETT) and is in the form of lecture notes. There are chapters on: the physiology of the circulation of the blood; flow–structure interactions in biomechanics; wave propagation and left ventricular blood–wall interaction; left heart fluid mechanics; ventricular mechanics during the ejection phase; numerical and analytical models of artificial heart valves; mass transport in large arteries and through the artery wall; finite-element modelling of blood flow; flow investigations in deformable arteries; flow in stented arteries. |
