In recent years, the complexity of vessel networks for one‐dimensional blood flow models has significantly increased, because of enhanced anatomical detail or automatic peripheral vasculature generation, for example. This fact, along with the application of these models in uncertainty quantification and parameter estimation poses the need for extremely efficient numerical solvers. The aim of this...
Simulation platforms are increasingly becoming complementary tools for cutting-edge cardiovascular research. The interplay among structural properties of the arterial wall, morphometry, anatomy, wave propagation phenomena, and ultimately, cardiovascular diseases continues to be poorly understood. Accurate models are powerful tools to shed light on these open problems. We developed an anatomically...
Acupuncture is used widely in oriental medicine. But it is difficult to stimulate continuously or intermittently in daily life with conventional acupuncture. An acupoint stimulation device using focused ultrasound has been developed. Because the device size is about 6 mm in diameter, it can be easily put on the skin during daily life. Appropriate stimulation intensity and pattern can be chosen by...
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in the developed countries and is responsible for millions of deaths and disabilities every year. In cardiovascular biomechanics the fluid-structure interaction within large blood vessel is required to understand the aortic wall tear, aortic dissection and so on. A loosely coupled method was used to study the complex mechanical interaction under steady flow...
The ability to accurately simulate human tissues will be a valuable tool to help in medical diagnosis and treatment. Generally, complex unstructured grids are used because of human tissue simulations must deal with kinetic interactions between fluids and structures. Additionally, a lot of advanced knowledge and much time are necessary to make computational grids because human tissues shapes are complex...
