Recent advances in imaging, modeling, and computing have rapidly expanded our
capabilities to model hemodynamics in the large vessels (heart, arteries, and veins). This …

Background: Computational fluid dynamics tools are useful for their ability to model patient
specific data relevant to the genesis and progression of atherosclerosis, but unavailable to …

A novel computational particle-hemodynamics analysis of key criteria for the onset of an
intraluminal thrombus (ILT) in a patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is …

Although flow-driven mechanisms associated with vascular physiopathology also deal with
four-dimensional phenomena such as species transport, the majority of the research on the …

Building on previous studies in which the transport and targeting of 90Y microspheres for
liver tumor treatment were numerically analyzed based on medical data sets, this two-part …

Aneurysms are bulges in arteries which reflect unhealthy state of conduit in which blood is
flowing. In the aorta, they are typically found in the abdominal region as well as thoracic …

Transport phenomena of platelets and white blood cells (WBCs) are fundamental to the
processes of vascular disease and thrombosis. Unfortunately, the dilute volume occupied by …

A parametric computational model of the human carotid artery bifurcation is employed to
demonstrate that it is only necessary to simulate approximately one-half of a single heart …

In the present work, blood flow through a patient‐specific carotid bifurcation is thoroughly
analysed. A locally conservative Galerkin spatial discretization is applied along with an …

Abstract Knowledge of blood flow mechanics is a critical issue (1) for an in depth
understanding of the relationships between hemodynamic factors and arterial homeostasis …
