The choice of appropriate boundary conditions is a crucial step in the development of cardiovascular models for blood flow simulations. The three-element Windkessel model is usually employed as a lumped boundary condition, providing a…
Many numerical studies of blood flow impose a rigid wall assumption due to the simplicity of its implementation compared to a full coupling to a solid mechanics model. In this paper, we present a localised method for incorporating the…
Three-dimensional cardiovascular fluid dynamics simulations typically require computation of several cardiac cycles before they reach a periodic solution, rendering them computationally expensive. Furthermore, there is currently no…
Prediction of the blood flow characteristics is of utmost importance for understanding the behavior of the blood arterial network, especially in the presence of vascular diseases such as stenosis. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has…
A detailed analysis is presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the lattice Boltzmann method. Thorough comparisons with other numerical solutions for the two-dimensional, driven cavity flow show that the lattice Boltzmann method gives…
Mathematical modeling at the level of the full cardiovascular system requires the numerical approximation of solutions to a one-dimensional nonlinear hyperbolic system describing flow in a single vessel. This model is often simulated by…
The blood vascular system consists of blood vessels such as arteries, arterioles, capillaries and veins that convey blood throughout the body. The pressure difference which exists between the ends of the vessels provides the living force…
Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction (CMD) is characterized by impaired vasodilation and can lead to insufficient blood flow to the myocardium during stress or exertion, affecting millions of people globally. Despite their diagnostic value,…
Cardiac fluid dynamics fundamentally involves interactions between complex blood flows and the structural deformations of the muscular heart walls and the thin, flexible valve leaflets. There has been longstanding scientific, engineering,…
Bubbles introduced to the arterial circulation during invasive medical procedures can have devastating consequences for brain function but their effects are currently difficult to quantify. Here we present a Monte-Carlo simulation…
Intracranial hemorrhage occurs when blood vessels rupture or leak within the brain tissue or elsewhere inside the skull. It can be caused by physical trauma or by various medical conditions and in many cases leads to death. The treatment…
Computational fluid dynamics is intensively used to deepen the understanding of aneurysm growth and rupture in the attempt to support physicians during therapy planning. Numerous studies have assumed fully-rigid vessel walls in their…
Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) analyzes the autocorrelation function of photons scattered by red blood cells, enabling non-invasive, continuous measurement of deep tissue blood flow at the bedside. Multi-layer DCS models (two- and…
We present a new computational model for the numerical simulation of blood flow in the human left heart. To this aim, we use the Navier-Stokes equations in an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulation to account for the endocardium motion…
In this paper, a multiscale constitutive framework for one-dimensional blood flow modeling is presented and discussed. By analyzing the asymptotic limits of the proposed model, it is shown that different types of blood propagation phenomena…
Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) is a malignant cardiac arrhythmia and the leading cause of sudden cardiac death, characterized by disorganized, high-frequency ventricular activity that results in the rapid loss of coordinated pump function…
Numerical simulations of blood flow are a valuable tool to investigate the pathophysiology of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA). To accurately reproduce hemodynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models must employ realistic…
The flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the perivascular spaces of the brain is believed to play a crucial role in eliminating toxic waste proteins. While the driving forces of this flow have been enigmatic, experiments have shown that…
Segmentation of blood vessels in murine cerebral 3D OCTA images is foundational for in vivo quantitative analysis of the effects of neurovascular disorders, such as stroke or Alzheimer's, on the vascular network. However, to accurately…
This study investigates the influence of aneurysm evolution on hemodynamic characteristics within the sac region. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), blood flow through the parent vessel and aneurysm sac was analyzed to assess the…
