Blood flow modeling in patient-specific aneurysm geometry

Abstract

Recent years have seen increasing interest in the use of computational fluid dynamics for modeling blood flow in diseased human vessels such as aneurysms. Patient-specific numerical models represent an encouraging tool that could help optimize clinical management in the future, since hemodynamic quantities could be employed as indicators of risk of rupture.

The novelty of our approach is prescribing the Navier slip BC instead of the common no-slip, which has the potential to more realistically capture the blood flow and help evaluate the risk of rupture in the future.
