This course explores the fluid mechanics of the cardiovascular system, focusing on the link between hemodynamics and cardiovascular health. The learning outcomes include understanding the basics of fluid mechanics in the cardiovascular system, exploring specific research projects such as vessel wall cell responses to different flows, oxygen transport in aneurysms, and nanoparticle transport in tumors, and discussing general open-ended problems in cardiovascular fluid mechanics. The course teaches skills in analyzing blood flow dynamics, interpreting data related to cardiovascular health, and engaging in facilitated discussions on complex problems. The teaching method involves a seminar format with a presentation divided into three parts. The intended audience includes biologists, medical researchers, physicists, mathematicians, and individuals interested in the interdisciplinary study of cardiovascular disease and fluid mechanics.
