Abstract
After proposing and briefly assessing the domain, objectives and tools of biofluidmechanics—the use of fluid mechanics for the study of biological flows—the paper focuses on the problems and opportunities in the study of biological flows in the various life sciences, both basic and applied. particular emphasis is given to flows as conveyours of information, the utilization of flows as diagnostic tools, and the interaction between flow and systems considerations. Biological flows also hold potential technological implications both as providers of inspiration for new engineering devices and concepts, and as stimulus to the development of new fundamental techniques in fluid mechanics. Finally, biofluidmechanics is compared to other domains of fluid mechanics (man-made devices and inorganic nature), and the development of the field is briefly considered in terms of social and governmental factors that affect it.
