This book surveys results on the physical and mathematical modeling as well as the numerical simulation of hemodynamical flows, i.e., of fluid and structural mechanical processes occurring in the human blood circuit. The topics treated are continuum mechanical description, choice of suitable liquid and wall models, mathematical analysis of coupled models, numerical methods for flow simulation, parameter identification and model calibration, fluid-solid interaction, mathematical analysis of piping systems, particle transport in channels and pipes, artificial boundary conditions, and many more. Hemodynamics is an area of active current research, and this book provides an entry into the field for graduate students and researchers. It has grown out of a series of lectures given by the authors at the Oberwolfach Research Institute in November, 2005.
