In this paper, methods for the modeling of a realistic vascular tree in 3D space and for
hemodynamic calculating throughout the simulated tree structure have been developed …

Detailed models binary branching arterial trees can be generated on a computer by using a
new optimization technique; additional branches are successively added, while given …

A proper analysis of blood flow is contingent upon accurate modelling of the branching
pattern and vascular geometry of the network of interest. It is challenging to reconstruct the …

A mathematical model is described which can be used to calculate blood flow in a normal
artery from pressures measured at two separated points. The equations of motion of fluid in …

Advances in computational methods and medical imaging techniques have enabled
accurate simulations of subject‐specific blood flows at the level of individual blood cell and …

The cardiovascular system is characterized by complex interactions between various control
mechanisms and physiological processes. Different approaches are used to provide better …

We present an approach to generate 3-D arterial tree models based on physiological
principles while at the same time certain morphological properties are enforced at …

The computational method of constrained constructive optimization (CCO) has been
generalized in two important respects:(1) arterial model trees are now grown within a …

The optimal network topology and spatial arrangement of the vessels providing a large
surface area are necessary for the efficient functioning of the vasculature. In the present …

A new vascular model is presented. It is a 3D dynamic and functional model in which the
organ growth leads to the development of the vascular tree. The growth is controlled by the …
