Complex Fluids in Biological Systems Experiment, Theory, and Computation

Complex Fluids in Biological Systems Experiment, Theory, and Computation / edited by Saverio E. Spagnolie.

This book serves as an introduction to the continuum mechanics and mathematical modeling of complex fluids in living systems. The form and function of living systems are intimately tied to the nature of surrounding fluid environments, which commonly exhibit nonlinear and history dependent responses...
