In augmented reality (AR)-guided surgical navigation, preoperative organ models are superimposed onto the patient's intraoperative anatomy to visualize critical structures such as vessels and tumors. Accurate deformation modeling is…
Endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms aims to achieve functional occlusion and isolation of the aneurysm sac from bloodflow. In clinical practice, treatment success is assessed primarily through digital subtraction angiography (DSA),…
We study fluid-structure interactions (FSIs) in a long and shallow microchannel, conveying a non-Newtonian fluid, at steady state. The microchannel has a linearly elastic and compliant top wall, while its three other walls are rigid. The…

This paper is dedicated to the study of the orthogonal decomposition of spatially and temporally distributed signals in fluid-structure interaction problems. First application is concerned with the analysis of wall-pressure distributions…
We investigate the reconstruction of a turbulent flow field in the atmospheric boundary layer from a time series of lidar measurements, using Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) and a 4D-Var data assimilation algorithm. This leads to an…
In this work, the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) instability induced by a unipolar charge injection is extended from a single-phase dielectric liquid to a two-phase system that consists of a liquid-air interface. A volume of fluid (VOF) model…
The main goal of this work is to accurately reproduce the structural properties of attractive systems modelled by hard-sphere plus square-well (HS+SW) interaction potential. Based on the optimized random phase approximation (ORPA), the…
We develop a three-dimensional Eulerian framework to simulate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems on a fixed Cartesian grid using the geometric volume-of-fluid (VOF) method. The coupled problem involves incompressible flow and…
Fluid injection and production cause changes in reservoir pressure, which result in deformations in the subsurface. This phenomenon is particularly important in reservoirs with abundant fractures and faults because the induced slip and…
Predicting the long-term success of endovascular interventions in the clinical management of cerebral aneurysms requires detailed insight into the patient-specific physiological conditions. In this work, we not only propose numerical…
Soft robotic systems offer benefits over traditional rigid systems through reduced contact trauma with soft tissues and by enabling access through tortuous paths in minimally invasive surgery. However, the inherent deformability of soft…
The concept of topological sensitivity (TS) is extended to enable simultaneous 3D reconstruction of fractures with unknown boundary condition and characterization of their interface by way of elastic waves. Interactions between the two…

A slender two-dimensional (2D) channel bounded by a rigid bottom surface and a slender elastic layer above deforms when a fluid flows through it. Hydrodynamic forces cause deformation at the fluid--solid interface, which in turn changes the…
Intracranial aneurysms remain a major cause of neurological morbidity and mortality worldwide, where rupture risk is tightly coupled to local hemodynamics particularly wall shear stress and oscillatory shear index. Conventional…
We present a loosely coupled approach for the solution of fluid-structure interaction problems between a compressible flow and a deformable structure. The method is based on staggered Dirichlet-Neumann partitioning. The interface motion in…
The aorta is the body's largest arterial vessel, serving as the primary pathway for oxygenated blood within the systemic circulation. Aortic aneurysms consistently rank among the top twenty causes of mortality in the United States. Thoracic…
Accurate and reliable selection of the appropriate acetabular cup size is crucial for restoring joint biomechanics in total hip arthroplasty (THA). This paper proposes a novel framework that integrates square-root velocity function…
Assessing the severity of stenoses in coronary angiography is critical to the patient's health, as coronary stenosis is an underlying factor in heart failure. Current practice for grading coronary lesions, i.e. fractional flow reserve (FFR)…
