Computational bioengineering

Featuring end-of-chapter exercises, with problems ranging in scope from straightforward calculations to small computational simulation projects, this book will be suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses in systems biology, computational bioengineering, and molecular biophysics.

The solid-liquid two-phase flow is widely applied in modern industry, such as chemical-mechanical polish (CMP), chemical engineering, medical engineering, bioengineering, and so on [80,81]. Many research works have been made focusing on the heat transfer or transportation of particles in the micro scale [82-88], In many applications, e.g., in CMP process of computer chips and computer hard disk, the size of solid particles in the two-phase flow becomes down to tens of nanometres from the micrometer scale, and a study on two-phase flow containing nano-particles is a new area apart from the classic hydrodynamics and traditional two-phase flow research. In such an area, the forces between particles and liquid are in micro or even to nano-Newton scale, which is far away from that in the traditional solid-liquid two-phase flow.

In addition, the subject of assembly looms as an apparently insurmountable obstacle. It is not at all clear how researchers would go about assembling individual molecular components into a functioning device, although bioengineering offers a potential solution to this problem. Examples of self-assembled structures exist everywhere in nature from the helical secondary structure of DNA to the human brain. Current knowledge of such systems is simply inadequate to allow scientists to employ similar forces to create synthetic molecular electronic devices. Clearly, an enormous amount of groundwork needs to be laid if the concept of the molecular electronic device or biochip computer is ever to become a reality.
