The book explores blood hemodynamics at different scales, including application to diseases, the relationship between blood biomechanics and rheology, the mimetization of blood properties at arterial and capillary level, including the study of blood mechanical and flow properties, flow and surface properties of blood cells, and mimetization of these same properties in fluid/particle systems.
These concepts are applied to the development of organ-on-chip to improve the replication of biological processes in the human body. The book organizes recent knowledge on hemodynamics and blood mimetics and is representative of the different lines of research in the field, showing an integrated view of blood biomechanics encompassing all scales to create a valuable resource where different research lines can be found and their principles understood.
