Blood Flow Simulation Inside Arteries at Fraunhofer MeVis

Problem

Pre-operative planning of treatment of cardiovascular disease requires patient-individual blood flow simulations.

Contribution

• set up MPI-parallel CFD simulations on complex geometries via the Lattice-Boltzmann method
• validation of simulation results against experiment data
• set up workflow for geometry extraction, setting of boundary conditions, discretization and running of LBM simulations
