In the recent era, no congenital heart defect has undergone a more dramatic change in
diagnostic approach, management, and outcomes than hypoplastic left heart syndrome …

Visualization and quantification of the adverse effects of distorted blood flow are important
emerging fields in cardiology. Abnormal blood flow patterns can be seen in various …

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the power that is available for
harvesting in the vehicle suspension system and the tradeoff among energy harvesting, ride …

The simulation of blood flow and pressure in arteries requires outflow boundary conditions
that incorporate models of downstream domains. We previously described a coupled …

The objective of our session at the 2008 International Bio-Fluid Symposium and Workshop
was to review the state-of-the-art in image-based modeling of blood flow, and identify future …

Simulation divergence due to backflow is a common, but not fully addressed, problem in
three-dimensional simulations of blood flow in the large vessels. Because backflow is a …

The Fontan procedure is a surgery that is performed on single-ventricle heart patients, and,
due to the wide range of anatomies and variations among patients, lends itself nicely to …

This is an extensive overview of the core and special space–time and Arbitrary Lagrangian–
Eulerian (ALE) techniques developed by the authors' research teams for patient-specific …

The vasculature consists of a complex network of vessels ranging from large arteries to
arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. This network is vital for the supply of oxygen and …

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this work is to evaluate the hemodynamic performance of a
new Y-graft modification of the extracardiac conduit Fontan operation. The performance of …
