Wall shear stress (WSS) is a crucial hemodynamic quantity extensively studied in cardiovascular research, yet its numerical computation is not straightforward. This work aims to compare WSS results obtained from two different finite element…

Angiogenesis is the complex process by which new blood vessels develop from an existing vasculature in order to supply nutrients and/or metabolites to tissues, playing a fundamental role in many physiological and pathological conditions…

Consideration is given to the effects of inhomogeneous shear flow (both regular and chaotic) on nematic liquid crystals in a planar geometry. The Landau--de Gennes equation coupled to an externally-prescribed flow field is the basis for the…

We consider the hydrodynamic theory of an active fluid of self-propelled particles with nematic aligning interactions. This class of materials has polar symmetry at the microscopic level, but forms macrostates of nematic symmetry. We…

Shear stress plays an important role in the creation and evolution of atherosclerosis. An key element for in-vivo measurements and extrapolations is the dependence of shear stress on body mass. In the case of a Poiseuille modeling of the…

A finite-element algorithm for computing free-surface flows driven by arbitrary body forces is presented. The algorithm is primarily designed for the microfluidic parameter range where (i) the Reynolds number is small and (ii) force-driven…

Data-driven methods for modelling purposes in fluid mechanics are a promising alternative given the continuous increase of both computational power and data-storage capabilities. Highly non-linear flows including turbulence and reaction are…

A part of non-Newtonian fluids are yield stress fluids. They require a minimum stress to flow. Below this minimum value, yield stress fluids remain solid. To date, 1D and 2D numerical models have been used predominantly to study free…

Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics are applied to simulate pulsatile blood flow in human vessels and in the aortic arch. The non-Newtonian behaviour of the human blood is investigated in simple vessels of actual size. A detailed…

This work extends the input-output approach to the study of wall-bounded shear flows manipulated using actuators common in experimental flow control studies. In particular, we adapt this powerful analytical framework to investigate the flow…

Time-resolved three-dimensional flow MRI (4D flow MRI) provides a unique non-invasive solution to visualize and quantify hemodynamics in blood vessels such as the aortic arch. However, most current analysis methods for arterial 4D flow MRI…

A finite element analysis of flows of an Oldroyd-B fluid is developed, to simulate blood flow in an arteriovenous fistula. The model uses a combination of a standard conforming finite element approximation for the momentum equation, and the…

We formulate a microscopic, force-level, activated dynamics-based statistical-mechanical theory for the continuous startup nonlinear shear-rheology of ultra-dense glass-forming hard-sphere fluids and colloidal suspensions in the context of…

Actin flow in the cortical cytoskeleton underneath the cell membrane generates mechanical stresses that shape the cell surface. We study this mechanism using a hydrodynamic model of a compressible active gel polymerizing at the membrane and…

Cerebrovascular diseases such as brain aneurysms are a primary cause of adult disability. The flow dynamics in brain arteries, both during periods of rest and increased activity, are known to be a major factor in the risk of aneurysm…

When a surfactant-stabilised oil droplet with an ultralow interfacial tension is trapped in the focus of two laser beams and pulled apart (by moving the laser beams) a configuration of two droplets connected by a thin tether of oil results.…

Fluid resuscitation, also called fluid therapy, is commonly used in treatment of critical care patients. Of the variables inherent to fluid therapy treatment, fluid infusion types are well-studied, but volumetric optimization is not.…

We propose a general approach to the question of how biological rhythms spontaneously self-regulate, based on the concept of ``stochastic feedback''. We illustrate this approach by considering the neuroautonomic regulation of the heart…

This brief article accompanies a fluid dynamics video presenting the results of a large-eddy simulation of the flow in a realistic left heart. The left heart geometry, from the pulmonary veins to the aortic root, is extracted from medical…

When an external field drives a colloidal system out of equilibrium, the ensuing colloidal response can be very complex and obtaining a detailed physical understanding often requires case-by-case considerations. In order to facilitate…
