Fluid Mechanics of the Cardiovascular System - Interesting, Impossible Problems in Bio, Phys, & Math

Explore the complex world of cardiovascular fluid mechanics in this 56-minute seminar from the Santa Fe Institute. Delve into the basics of fluid mechanics in the cardiovascular system and its crucial link to heart and blood vessel health. Examine specific research projects, including vessel wall cell responses to various flows, oxygen transport in aneurysms, and nanoparticle transport in tumors. Gain insights into the challenges of creating accurate models of the human circulatory system and the limitations of measurements in living subjects. Participate in a facilitated discussion on open-ended problems in cardiovascular fluid mechanics and their applications beyond the field. Learn how this emerging research perspective is reshaping our understanding of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.
