Editorial Special issue on biofluid dynamics

摘要

This special issue contains a small collection of invited papers on biofluid dynamics and biofluid-structure interaction. A total of 10 papers are included in this special issue and they are divided into two categories. Among the 10 articles, the first five are classified as fundamental papers and the rest are treated as applications in biofluid dynamics. Geometrical modelling and meshing are two important areas of present day biofluid dynamics computation and the first two papers of this issue discuss these aspects. The paper by Appanaboyina et al. [1] deals with an embedded griding technology for complex problems of blood flow and the article by Gambaruto et al. [2] attempts to quantify the uncertainties associated with segmentation and reconstruction of arterial conduits. The articles by Lee et al. [3] and Barth et al. [4] deal with fluid flow in model geometries, relevant to blood flow and the paper by Wood et al. [5] discusses a partitioned method for the interaction of fluid and membranes.
