The LifeV library: engineering mathematics beyond the proof of concept

Simone Deparis, Davide Forti, Luca Formaggia

LifeV is a library for the finite element (FE) solution of partial differential equations in one, two, and three dimensions. It is written in C++ and designed to run on diverse parallel architectures, including cloud and high performance computing faciliti ...

On the physical consistency between three-dimensional and one-dimensional models in haemodynamics

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara, Luca Formaggia

In this work we discuss the reliability of the coupling among three-dimensional (3D) and one-dimensional (1D) models that describe blood flowing into the circulatory tree. In particular, we study the physical consistency of the 1D model with respect to the ...

Trends in biomedical engineering: focus on Patient Specific Modeling and Life Support Systems

Alfio Quarteroni, Fabio Nobile, Christian Vergara, Wei Wu, Carlo D'Angelo, Federica Boschetti, Luca Formaggia, Paolo Zunino, Chiara Corsini

Over the last twenty years major advancements have taken place in the design of medical devices and personalized therapies. They have paralleled the impressive evolution of three-dimensional, non invasive, medical imaging techniques and have been continuou ...

We consider the coupling between three-dimensional (3D) and one-dimensional (1D)fluidstructure interaction (FSI) models describing blood flow inside compliant vessels. The 1D model is a hyperbolic system of partial differential equations. The 3D model cons ...

In this work we will introduce and analyze the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulation for a model problem of a scalar advection-diffusion equation defined on a moving domain. Moving from the results illustrated in our previous work [J. Num. Math. 7 (199 ...

In this work, we address the numerical solution of fluid-structure interaction problems. This issue is particularly difficulty to tackle when the fluid and the solid densities are of the same order, for instance as it happens in hemodynamic applications, s ...
