Abstract
Haemodynamics is the study of the properties of blood and how it flows. Its physical principles can be described by the same fluid flow equations that derive from classical fluid dynamics however closer inspection of the dynamic nature of blood reveals its complex nature. It is a liquid tissue that under fluid motion necessitates principles of modern fluid dynamics such as rheology and fluid structure interactions to describe its flow behaviour. This chapter introduces both classical principles and modern aspects of fluid mechanics, while Chap. 5 introduces principles of fluid structure interactions.
