Bio-fluid mechanics is the subject that studies a certain class of biological problems from a fluid mechanics point of view. Bio-fluid mechanics uses the general principles of fluid mechanics in dealing biological applications having fluid motion. The subject focuses on issues related to flow phenomenon of various fluid in human body. This subject also sees the applications in aerodynamics of insect flight, maneuvering and propulsion of various underwater creatures etc.In recent years, there is a surge in research on bio-fluid mechanics to have clear understanding of the various flow phenomena within the human body as well as the fluid mechanics applications in other animals.
