Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hemodynamics refers to the study of the dynamics of blood flow and its effect on the arterial structure in the circulation system. The circulation system consists of the heart (ventricles and atriums) and the extensive branches of blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. The interaction between blood flow and deformation of arterial structure investigated by hemodynamics provides compressive information of the circulation system and guidance to diagnose diseases of the cardiovascular system. Hemodynamics also can be employed to design and evaluate novel treatment devices such as stents, stents graft, and artificial heart valves.
The biomechanics of biological systems can be represented using lumped parameter models or detailed distributed systems. The latter can better capture the mechanisms within the system, but entail much higher computational costs and the definition of several parameters. Recent advances have made it possible to overcome some of these issues by introducing new formulations and using dual experimental/modelling approaches.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the numerical simulation of hemodynamics and biomechanics by inviting contributions from international scientists which can consolidate our understanding in this area.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
