BioFluid Mechanics

General Overview

Our research interests in biofluid dynamics, include applications to biology and medical devices. We have extensive experience in the development and application of both experimental and computational techniques, including novel mesh-free approaches to computational fluid dynamics. We collaborate with a number of partners in the medical devices industry.
