ENGG 165 - Bioengineering Modeling and SimulationSemester Hours: 3
Spring
Computational modeling is a vital tool of bioengineers to study, analyze and design medical and biological systems. This course utilizes MATLAB and COMSOL Multiphysics softwares to numerically-solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs) problems, focusing on finite element method (FEM). Specific bioengineering topics and PDEs covered include structural mechanics of leg prosthesis and device components (Hooke’s law), diffusion and convection of drugs and proteins (Fick’s laws), heat transfer in biomaterials (Fourier’s law and heat equation), blood fluid flow mechanics (Navier-Stokes equations), and pacemaker leads modeling of electric current density (Maxwell’s equations).
