Basic knowledge of Fluid
Mechanics and of Partial
Differential Equations.

At the end of the course the
student will be able to apply
principles of (bio)fluid
mechanics in the following
scenarios:
- Basic knowledge of the
circulatory system and its
physiology;
- principles of modeling the circulatory system, both one-dimensional and three-dimensional, with insights on computational tools;
- overview of cardiac valve prostheses.
