Blood flow patterns and local hemodynamic parameters have been widely associated with
the onset and progression of atherosclerosis in the carotid artery. Assessment of these …

The last decade has seen tremendous growth in the use of computational methods for
simulating large artery hemodynamics. As computational models become more …

Here we present a study on the impact of assumptions on image-based hemodynamic
simulations of healthy carotid bifurcations. In particular, we evaluate to which extent …

Patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool for researching the
role of blood flow in disease processes. Modern clinical imaging technology such as MRI …

This paper numerically evaluates the accuracy and performance of a stabilized finite
element Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) approach that is designed to simulate pulsatile …

Based upon dynamical systems theory, a fixed point of a vector field such as the wall shear
stress (WSS) at the luminal surface of a vessel is a point where the vector field vanishes …

The observed co-localization of disturbed flow and lesion prevalence at predisposed
districts such as the carotid bifurcation has led to the identification of the wall shear stress …

This book discusses geometric and mathematical models that can be used to study fluid and
structural mechanics in the cardiovascular system. Where traditional research …

The rationale for this study lies in the well-known predilection for vascular disease of the
carotid bifurcation, attributed to an altered shear stress distribution at the luminal surface and …

Patient-specific flow rates are rarely available for image-based computational fluid dynamics
models. Instead, flow rates are often assumed to scale according to the diameters of the …
