Fluid Dynamics is a discipline that has increasing importance in biology. These Lecture Series proceedings are intended for researchers, including physicians, in Biological Fluid Dynamics. Its objectives are to introduce newcomers to bio-fluid mechanics and to present the state-of-the-art to experienced researchers.

In this Lecture Series, initial notes provide a theoretical background on respiratory and cardiovascular Biofluid Mechanics. Specific course notes on Cardiac and Vascular Biomechanics are presented and are followed by papers on Pulmonary Biomechanics. Extensive course notes on experimental and numerical modelling of the circulatory system and air flows within the lung are then given. These papers are illustrated by applications such as Patient specific modelling in cardiovascular as well as pulmonary applications.
