Nanoscale Fluid Dynamics in Physiological Processes:A Review Study (Advances in Computational Bioengineering Vol 2)

Treats nanoscale fluid dynamics and transport problems as a complete subject. The text is intended as a review, rather than a detailed description of the theories involved. It provides a general introduction to each area together with appropriate references. The following topics are included: nanotechnology; the ultrastructural and functional basis of nanoscale transport phenomena in physiology; filtration in the kidney glomerus; transport phenomena on the cell; and computational methods for nanoscale fluid flow problems.
