Units: 3
When Offered: Fall
Introduces the basic principles of fluid mechanics and applies them to key functions of the human body. Students will learn topics such as Poiseuille flow, Bernouilli’s equation, and Ohm’s Law analogy and how they relate to cardiovascular physiology, prosthetic heart valves, and aqueous humor dynamics relevant to Glaucoma. Medical Devices and sensors relating to fluid flow will be covered as well as basic Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics. Course includes a weekly laboratory session that includes both hands-on experimental measurements and computer-based numerical modeling of fluid flow using MATLAB.
Grade Type: Letter Grade
Prerequisite(s): EGR 382 , and either 262  or PHY 203
