Overview
The ability to study complex biological processes has greatly improved with the increasing speed and expanded storage capacity of modern computers, together with new advanced numerical methods and programming techniques. Bioengineering applies the methods of engineering, applied mathematics and physics to the study of biological phenomena, and the use of their concepts to describe these phenomena. In addition, since fluids are one of the major components of a living organism, fluid mechanics play a major role in bioengineering, by analyzing and simulating the fluid flow problems associated with physiological processes.Editorials

Reports recent developments in using the theory of fluid mechanics to describe the motion of fluids in biological processes in terms consistent with their functions. The nine invited review articles discuss the modelling and computer simulation of orifice flow in stenotic and regurgitant lesions, the numerical modelling of blood flow in compliant arteries and arterial bifurcations, a computational respiratory mechanics approach to the coupled behavior of lung respiration, and a micropolar fluid model for the brain fluid dynamics, and other topics.
