Biofluid dynamics is also an example of a biological fluid. Types of Fluids Fluids can be classified into four basic types. They are: An Ideal Fluid is a fluid that has no viscosity, means it will offer no resistance, pragmatically this type of fluid does not exist. It is incompressible in nature. Real fluids are compressible in nature. They offer some resistance and thus have viscosity. All Fluids existing are real fluids. A Newtonian Fluid is a fluid whose viscous shear stresses (acting between different layers of fluid and between the fluid layer and surface over which it is flowing) are directly
Mass flow Mass flow "This article is about the flow of fluids in biological systems. For use of "mass flow" in physics see Fluid Dynamics. For "bulk flow" in physics see Advection. For "protein transport" in cell biology see Bulk movement." Mass flow, also known as “mass transfer” and “bulk flow”, is the movement of fluids down a pressure or temperature gradient, particularly in the life sciences. As such, mass flow is a subject of study in both fluid dynamics and biology. Examples of mass flow include blood circulation and transport of water in vascular plant tissues. Mass flow is not to
