It has long been recognized that the forces and stresses produced by the blood flow on the
walls of the cardiovascular system are central to the development of different cardiovascular …

Image-based simulation, the use of 3D images to calculate physical quantities, relies on
image segmentation for geometry creation. However, this process introduces image …

State of the art simulations of aortic haemodynamics feature full fluid-structure interaction
(FSI) and coupled 0D boundary conditions. Such analyses require not only significant …

Background and objective Mortality rate increases globally among which one third is due to
diseased blood vessels. Due to late diagnoses of the disease in vessels (severe stenoses) …

We present a novel framework for the fluid dynamics analysis of healthy subjects and
patients affected by ascending thoracic aorta aneurysm (aTAA). Our aim is to obtain …

Endothelial erosion of atherosclerotic plaques is the underlying cause of approximately 30%
of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). As the vascular endothelium is profoundly affected by …

Vascular grafts are essential for the management of cardiovascular disease. However, the
lifesaving potential of these devices is undermined by thrombosis arising from material and …

A data-driven reduced order model (ROM) based on a proper orthogonal decomposition-
radial basis function (POD-RBF) approach is adopted in this paper for the analysis of blood …

The development of an engineering transitional turbulence model and its subsequent
evaluation and validation for some diseased cardiovascular flows have been suggestive of …

An attempt has been made to evaluate the effects of wall shear stress (WSS) on thoracic
aortic aneurysm (TAA) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Aneurysm is an …
