Special Issue "Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer in Biological Systems and Clinical/Medical Applications" in Fluids (ISSN 2311-5521)
Bio-fluid mechanics and bio-heat transfer represent the intersection of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, biological systems and clinical/medical applications. A few examples of bio-fluid mechanics and bio-heat transfer research are: Investigation of blood flow, human cardiovascular and respiratory systems, cryosurgery, laser surgery, bio-tribology, cell transport, drug delivery, aerodynamics of birds and insects, etc. A greater understanding of the behavior of biological systems is needed in order to be able to design better medical devices, to better predict the development of diseases and to improve the treatments of a wide range of pathologies. This Special Issue of Fluids seeks original contributions or reviews in all aspects of bio-fluid mechanics and bio-heat transfer including analytical, computational and experimental studies in biological systems. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
- Blood flow
- Bio-tribology
- Biorheology
- Circulatory biofluid mechanics
- Computational biology
- Heat transfer and diffusion in tissues
- Cardiovascular and respiratory systems
- Fluid mechanics of heart valves
- Drug delivery
- Mathematical and computational modeling
- Fluid-Solid interactions (FSI)
- Biphasic and multiphase modeling
- CFD applications
The submission deadline is 15 November 2016. You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to
send a short abstract or tentative title to the Editorial Office in advance (fluids [at] mdpi.com).
Fluids (ISSN 2311-5521), an international, peer-reviewed Open Access (unlimited and free access by readers) new journal published quarterly online and will aim to cover all aspects of fluids.
