Zusatztext "The two books edited by Constantine Pozrikidis [see also Modeling and Simulation of Capsules and Biological Cells] deal primarily with mathematical evaluations and in silico investigations (modeling and simulations) of particles in motion. ? they complement each other in that information provided in one book is either absent! described in more detail! or expanded upon in the other. ? Both books contain a collection of chapters contributed by investigators from around the world who provide their expert experiences in fields such as biology and physiology! mathematics! mechanical and chemical engineering! as well as computer and information science. ? well written and structured! and the sequence of topics presented in the chapters is appropriate. ? Both books are fascinating ? a welcome addition to the growing number of publications in the fast-advancing field of biological dynamics."-Christian T.K.-H. Stadtländer! Journal of Biological Dynamics! Vol. 7! 2013"This book gives a quite extensive overview of different possible formulations for the motion of rigid or deforming particles and for the solution of flow-induced deformations. A wide range of numerical and methodological approaches are illustrated ? The presence of many numerical examples allows one to appreciate the capabilities of the approaches proposed and provides useful reference material. ? this book is a highly valuable reference for any graduate student or researcher interested in cellular mechanics! bio-fluid dynamics! bio-rheology or! in general! applications involving the transport of micro-capsules or cells by a fluid. It is accompanied by an Internet site where some additional material! including MATLAB code! may be found."-Luca Formaggia! Mathematical Reviews! Issue 2012a Informationen zum Autor C. Pozrikidis is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Klappentext In recent years! computational hydrodynamics of capsules and biological cells has attracted a great deal of attention. This volume explores the recent developments in computational and mathematical methods. It presents in-depth discussions on a broad range of physical! biological! modeling! and computational concepts. The book touches on the subjects of classical biomechanics! advanced mathematical techniques! and high-performance computing. A world leader in this field of research! the author also covers the areas of bioengineering! chemical engineering! applied mathematics! and mechanical engineering. Ancillary materials are available on http: //dehesa.freeshell.org/CC2 Zusammenfassung Spanning biological, mathematical, computational, and engineering sciences, Computational Biofluiddynamics addresses a diverse family of problems involving fluid flow inside and around living organisms, organs, tissue, biological cells, and other biological materials. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to this field. Inhaltsverzeichnis Flow-Induced Deformation of Two-Dimensional Biconcave Capsules. Flow-Induced Deformation of Artificial Capsules.
