In the developing heart, a subset of endothelial cells (ECs) undergo a process of endothelial to mesenchymal transformation (EMT) that leads to the remodeling of the cardiac cushions and the formation of the cardiac valves. Understanding how microenvironme ...
Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death in industrialized countries. It is now widely established that blood fluid dynamics and its interaction with the vascular wall play an essential role in the development and evolution of vascular patholog ...
Accuracy is critical if we are to trust simulation predictions. In settings such as fluid-structure interaction, it is all the more important to obtain reliable results to understand, for example, the impact of pathologies on blood flows in the cardiovascu ...
A distributed model of the human arterial tree including all main systemic arteries coupled to a heart model is developed. The one-dimensional (1-D) form of the momentum and continuity equations is solved numerically to obtain pressures and flows throughou ...
The research work reported in the present dissertation is aimed at the analysis of complex physical phenomena involving instabilities and nonlinearities occurring in fluids through state-of-the-art numerical modeling. Solutions of intricate fluid physics p ...
The temporal and spatial distribution of water within a porous medium is affected by the medium's structure, i.e., the spatial arrangement of its constituents. To analyze structural effects on the fluid dynamics, we measured the 3D water content distributi ...
The fluid structure interaction mechanism in vascular dynamics can be described by either 3D or 1D models, depending on the level of detail of the flow and pressure patterns needed for analysis. A successful strategy that has been proposed in the past year ...
Purpose: Connecting outflow cannula of LVAD to the aorta is an underexplored issue but may have considerable impact. In fact the hemodynamic modifications due to implantation in this region can cause thromboembolic events. It is therefore important to unde ...
Modeling of flow in intracranial aneurysms (IAs) requires flow information at the model boundaries. In absence of patient-specific measurements, typical or modeled boundary conditions (BCs) are often used. This study investigates the effects of modeled ver ...
The mechanical interactions between heart contraction and perfusion of the heart are difficult to study in humans because of the restrictions in inducing changes in hemodynamic and cardiac mechanics parameters during catheterization. We hypothesize that th ...
