Contour plot routines

During development of the Green’s function method for simulating mass transport by microvessel networks, I have been unable to find suitable open-source C programs for generating contour plots. The following subroutines are designed to address this problem. Both subroutines plot contours of a function specified by numerical data on a rectangular grid, and generate PostScript…Continue Reading Contour plot routines

Microcirculation Division, Arizona Research Laboratories

HistoryThe University of Arizona has been an important center for research into microcirculation since 1967, when Paul C. Johnson came here as founding Head of the Department of Physiology. Theoretical approaches have been emphasized since the arrival in 1972 of Joseph F. Gross as Professor of Chemical Engineering. In 1979, Drs. Johnson and Gross received…Continue Reading Microcirculation Division, Arizona Research Laboratories

Research interests – Theoretical studies of the microcirculation

The microcirculation is a network of extremely small blood vessels that supplies oxygen and nutrients to all parts of our tissues. The focus of work in our research group is the use of mathematical and computational approaches to study blood flow and mass transport in the microcirculation. Working in collaboration with experimentalists, we aim to…Continue Reading Research interests – Theoretical studies of the microcirculation
