Due to the potential impact on the diagnosis and treatment of various cardiovascular
diseases, work on the rheology of blood has significantly expanded in the last decade, both …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used for several years to identify mechanical
risk factors associated with aneurysmal evolution and rupture as well as to understand flow …

Modeling the transport, activation, and adhesion of platelets is crucial in predicting thrombus
formation and growth following a thrombotic event in normal or pathological conditions. We …

The aim of this work is to present an overview of recent advances in multi-scale modeling of
brain blood flow. In particular, we present some approaches that enable the in silico study of …

The aim of the present work is to address the closure problem for hemodynamic simulations
by develo** a flexible and effective model that accurately distributes flow in the …

The potential impact of blood flow simulations on the diagnosis and treatment of patients
suffering from vascular disease is tremendous. Empowering models of the full arterial tree …

Cerebrovascular accidents are the third most common cause of death in developed
countries. Over recent years, CFD simulations using medical image-based anatomical …

Damage to arterial vessel walls leads to the formation of platelet aggregate, which acts as a
physical obstacle for bleeding. An arterial thrombus is heterogeneous; it has a dense inner …

Numerical simulations of the cardiovascular system are affected by uncertainties arising
from a substantial lack of data related to the boundary conditions and the physical …

In recent years, significant progress in hemorheological modeling has occurred after the
development of constitutive models able to represent the major physical mechanisms that …
