Minireview: Ciliary filter feeding and bio‐fluid mechanics—present understanding and unsolved problems [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2001 The energy cost for various ciliary filter feeders shows that useful pump work constitutes 0.3–1.1% of the total metabolic expenditure. The ‘water processing potential’ (liters of water pumped per milliliter O2 consumed by the animal) is a useful tool for characterizing filter feeding and adaptation to the environment.

The Role of Biofluid Mechanics in the Assessment of Clinical and Pathological Observations [PDF]
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2010 Biofluid mechanics is increasingly applied in support of diagnosis and decision-making for treatment of clinical pathologies. Exploring the relationship between blood flow phenomena and pathophysiological observations is enhanced by continuing advances in the imaging modalities, measurement techniques, and capabilities of computational models.

Biofluid Mechanics of Special Organs and the Issue of System Control [PDF]
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2010 In the field of fluid flow within the human body, focus has been placed on the transportation of blood in the systemic circulation since the discovery of that system; but, other fluids and fluid flow phenomena pervade the body. Some of the most fascinating fluid flow phenomena within the human body involve fluids other than blood and a service other ...
