14. Course objectives (about 100 words):
The objectives of this course are as follows:

- To introduce the fluid mechanics of biological fluids inside the human body.
- To study the blood flow characteristics.
- To understand the flow through heart and lungs.
- To understand the modeling aspects of bio-fluids.
15. Course outcomes (about 100 words):
Biofluid mechanics is very important to understand the flow characteristics of biological fluids viz., blood, CSF etc. in a human
body. The course focuses on the fluid mechanics aspects in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and motivates the
students to perform studies towards the biofluid mechanics. This perhaps helps in developing methods to foresee the occurrence
of severe diseases such as COPD, stroke in the patients.
Upon completion of the course, the students will be familiar with the anatomy and physiology of cardiovascular and respiratory
systems, and blood flow in the systemic circulation. The biological nomenclature of the circulatory systems will be clear. The
properties of blood and its flow characteristics, aneurysms, gas transport etc., can be distinguished between normal and diseased
conditions. Methodology behind the modeling of bio-fluid mechanics will be understood for carrying out further research.
