More Description
A roadmap to the current state of the art in computational cellular mechanics and biofluiddynamics, this volume provides a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the fundamental concepts, mathematical formulation, alternative approaches, and predictions of this evolving field. It covers advanced numerical methods for simulating the motion of rigid particles (platelets) and the flow-induced deformation of liquid capsules and cells enclosed by viscoelastic membranes. Offering MATLAB and other data on the book's website, it compares solutions produced by different numerical approaches and assesses the efficiency of alternative formulations.
