When modelling the cardiovascular system, the effect of the vessel wall on the blood flow has great relevance. Arterial vessels are complex living tissues and three-dimensional specific models have been proposed to represent their behaviour. The numerical ...
An adaptive multiresolution scheme is proposed for the numerical solution of a spatially two-dimensional model of sedimentation of suspensions of small solid particles dispersed in a viscous fluid. This model consists in a version of the Stokes equations f ...
The first goal of this project is to study a reduced order model for the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem. We present the assumptions made to achieve the reduced order formulation and its fully discretized numerical scheme. One of the characterist ...
This study presents an analytical model of the dynamics of an axisymmetric liquid bridge confined between two circular pads and subjected to small vertical periodic perturbations. Such system finds important applications in microassembly and microjoint des ...
A simple optical method is proposed for performing in-plane experimental modal analysis of micromachined structures with a conventional charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The motion of a micromechanical device actuated by high frequency sinusoidal forces ...

The goals of this project are to study and numerically solve a reduced fluid-structure interaction problem for cardiovascular applications. The first section of this project presents two test cases in order to understand the finite element method for two d ...
The research work reported in this dissertation is aimed to develop efficient and stable numerical schemes in order to obtain accurate numerical solution for viscoelastic fluid flows within the spectral element context. The present research consists in the ...
A multicomponent extension of our recent theory of simple fluids [U. M. B. Marconi and S. Melchionna, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 014105 (2009)] is proposed to describe miscible and immiscible liquid mixtures under inhomogeneous, nonsteady conditions typical of co ...
In this project we consider a simplified model of drug delivery in a stenosed artery. The goal is to simulate the diffusion and transport of drug in blood flows, and to evaluate how physical parameters, such as the drug diffusivity or the geometry of the a ...
A reduced-order strategy based on the reduced basis (RB) method is developed for the efficient numerical solution of statistical inverse problems governed by PDEs in domains of varying shape. Usual discretization techniques are infeasible in this context, ...
