Medical applications of computer modelling a fluid dynamics: respiratory system

Designed for use in both academic and research environments, these two volumes address applications of computer modelling and fluid dynamics to biological 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.Providing introductions to actual problems encountered by investigators, rather than comprehensive subject reviews, these volumes will inspire further medical research combining mathematics, physics and engineering with computer technology
