BMEN 341 - Biotransport
Fundamentals of momentum, mass, and energy transport related to living or biomedical systems; examination of the basic principles and constitutive equations of a variety of biological transport phenomena, with length scales ranging from intracellular to organ level; topics include fluid mechanics; transport by diffusion, along with effects of convection, electrochemical potential, and chemical reactions; and energy-tissue interactions; emphases are given to fundamental principles, quantitative approaches, and biomedical applications of these principles and techniques.
BMEN 489/689 - Biofluid mechanics
The overall purpose of this course is to develop competencies in fluid mechanics principles using practical examples and clinical case studies of how fluid mechanics knowledge is applied to biomedical applications. The course will cover fundamentals of momentum transport, including fluid kinematics, balance relations and conservation laws, with direction application to a range of tissue- and organ-level systems.
