BMEG 644 - Microscale Biofluid Mechanics

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Description:

Biomedical applications of microfluidic systems discussed in the context of microfluidic device fabrication, fluid handling, imaging in microfluidic channels, 2D and 3D formats for perfusion culture of cells, micro tissues and organs, micro physiological systems (organ on a chip), microfluidic 3D bioprinting, and microfluidic synthesis. These applications will be used to discuss biological fluid mechanics at the micro and nano length-scales including a physicochemical description of hydrodynamics, scaling laws, mixing phenomena at low Reynolds number, capillarity, double layer phenomena and electrokinetic effects, nanofluidic entropic and confinement effects. PREREQ: BMEG420 or MEEG331 or equivalent course on fluid mechanics.
