The formation of an arterial aneurysm is believed to be a multifactorial and predominantly
degenerative process, resulting from a complex interplay between biological processes in …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the
western world. In the last three decades, fluid dynamics investigations have been an …

Model validation metrics have been developed to provide a quantitative measure that
characterizes the agreement between predictions and observations. In engineering design …
