Biofluid dynamics
- Submission status
- Closed
- Submission deadline
Biofluid dynamics is the application of physics and engineering principles to the study of complex biological processes that involve fluid motion, both inside and outside an organism. From the movement of individual cells, the flow of blood through the cardiovascular system, to animal locomotion in the air or water, there are many biological scenarios that require a quantitative understanding of the mechanical processes surrounding the flow of fluids.
This Collections invites submissions on the latest applied research and methodological advances in the field of biofluid dynamics across the entirety of the natural world.

Alison Marsden is a Professor in the departments of Pediatrics, Bioengineering, and, by courtesy, Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. Her research focuses on the development of numerical methods for cardiovascular blood flow simulation and application of engineering tools to impact patient care in cardiovascular surgery and congenital heart disease. Prof Marsden has been an Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports since 2021.
David Murphy is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Florida. His research is in biological, ecological, and environmental fluid mechanics, with his recent work on Antarctic krill schooling taking him to Palmer Station, Antarctica. Dr Murphy has been an Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports since 2019.
Yi Sui is a Reader in Fluid Mechanics and Director of Research in the School of Engineering and Materials Science at the Queen Mary University of London, Unite Kingdom. His recent research mainly concerns the modelling, simulation and mechanical characterisation of microcapsules and biological cells under flow conditions. Dr Sui has been an Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports since 2021.
Choon Hwai Yap is a Researcher in Department of Bioengineering of Imperial College London. His research is on biofluids and biosolid mechanics, with a focus on cardiac biomechanics, particularly in embryonic and fetal hearts. He also works to develop novel materials for modulating thrombosis responses for haemostasis and blood contacting medical devices. Dr Yap has been an Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports since 2019.
