Fluid mechanics is the study of fluid behavior (liquids, gases, blood, and plasmas) at rest and in motion. Fluid mechanics has a wide range of applications in mechanical and chemical engineering, in biological systems, and in astrophysics. In this chapter fluid mechanics and its application in biological systems are presented and discussed. First the fluid mechanics governing equations and blood properties are explained. In the following section different models for blood as a non-Newtonian flui...

If the movement of fluid is not affected by its viscosity, it could be treated as the flow of ideal fluid and the viscosity term could be omitted. Therefore, its analysis would be easier. The flow around a solid, however, cannot be treated in such a manner because of viscous friction. Nevertheless, only the very thin region near the wall is affected by this friction. Ludwig Prandtl identified this phenomenon and had the idea to divide the flow into two regions. They are: 1. the region near ...
