Synopsis

Designed for use in both academic and research environments, this volume addresses applications of computer modelling and fluid dynamics to cardiovascular and ocular systems. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the important roles that mathematical theory and computer technology can play in the medical arena, and general scientific concepts are integrated with specific technical issues throughout. An introduction to actual problems encountered by investigators, rather than a comprehensive review of the subject, Medical Applications of Computer Modelling: Cardiovascular and Ocular Systems is designed to inspire further medical research combining mathematics, physics and engineering with computer technology. A companion volume, Medical Applications of Computer Modelling: Respiratory System (see details below) is also available from WIT Press.

About this title

Review

"This book clearly demonstrates how the rigorous application of computational mathematics can illuminate problems in medicine and biology, and contains excellent examples." ..".well written...The opinion of this reviewer is that the reader is provided with a good introduction to some simple mathematical models of the respiratory system and some simple techniques that are used to solve the resulting equations."

Synopsis

Specialists, not of the two medical fields but of computer science and engineering, examine applications of computer modeling and fluid dynamics to the circulation and ocular systems, emphasizing the role that mathematical theory and computer technology can play in the medical area. They consider the fundamentals of fluid dynamics, generating optim
