This course aims to provide an overview of the important problems in human circulatory system. The course would provide introduction to cardiovascular systems and important fluid flow problems in large arteries. The goal is to provide students with the necessary background to apply the knowledge of fluid mechanics to analyse the flow behavior in biological systems in general and human circulatory system in particular. It is hoped that with this course, the students would be able to develop a perspective towards the design and development of diagnostics and medical device development.
Prof. Raghvendra Gupta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. His research interest lies in understanding transport phenomena in complex systems. He has been teaching an elective course on Biofluid Mechanics for last two years.
