In this paper, we consider large eddy simulations (LES) for human stenotic carotids in
presence of atheromasic plaque, a pathological condition where transitional effects to …

In the human cardiovascular system the blood flow is usually laminar. Some cardiovascular
districts in pathological conditions are characterized by com-plex geometries (bends …

In this thesis we consider the numerical approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations with
Variational Multiscale Large Eddy Simulation (VMS-LES), which is used to provide …

Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of death in the westernized societies and the primary
cause of stroke. Atherosclerotic plaques can grow into the arterial lumen sufficiently to …

The term arterial stenosis refers to narrowing of an artery where the cross-sectional area of
the blood vessel is significantly reduced. The most common cause is atherosclerosis where …

One of the most challenging topic in the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is the
solution to the Navier-Stokes equations for turbulent flows. Over the years, mainly three …

Background and objective: This paper presents a comprehensive (qualitative and
quantitative) comparison of four classic Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes models (RANS)(k …

Purpose Screening of asymptomatic carotid stenoses is performed by auscultation of the
carotid bruit, but the sensitivity is poor. Instead, it has been suggested to detect carotid bruit …
