Description

Praise for Hemo-Dynamics: �This book provides an elegant and intuitive derivation of the fundamental mathematics underlying fluid flow, and then applies these in a straightforward way to pulsatile blood flow in all its complexity. One of the triumphs of the book is that Zamir succeeds in making essential concepts such as the Navier-Stokes equations completely accessible to any reader with a knowledge of basic calculus.� The author succeeds in conveying both the beauty of his subject matter, and his passion for the elegance and intricacies of fluid flow more generally.� Lindi Wahl, PhD, Professor of Applied Mathematics, The University of Western Ontario �Incredible, the figures alone are to die for� At first glance��Hemo-Dynamics� seems like a deep engineering and modeling dive into the mechanical properties of the cardiovascular system, blood, and how they interact to generate flow and pressure.� However, the text is laid out in a stepwise manner and I was especially impressed in the way that the key conceptual figures illustrate the essential concepts.� In keeping with the philosophical underpinnings of engineering, Professor Zamir has also constructed his book so that the format, text, equations and the figures are self-reinforcing. This isa book that will be of great use to those who seek to understand the cardiovascular system from a mechanical and modeling perspective.� Michael J. Joyner, MD, Professor of Anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MNTypham this is the title: Hemo-Dynamics
