Clotting processes of blood:
Simulation in real vessel geometries
Supervision:
Background:
Today worldwide many people suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Vessel wall irregularities, a so-called aneurysms, are of high risk, since a rupturing leads to a bleeding into the brain, which most often results in a stroke. To get a better understanding of the processes in the vessel, we simulate the bloodflow e.g. in the human brain using a computational fluid dynamic solver and real patient geometries. In case of an aneurysm, a surgery can stop the inflow, resulting in clotting of the blood in the bulge.
We want to incorporate this clotting process of blood in our solver to investigate risks and possibilities of aneurysms repair.
Tasks:
- Implementation of (different) clotting model(s)
- Implementation of non-newtonian model(s)
- Simulation of various test cases
- Visualization of the results
- Perhaps: Measurements on an example vessel
Useful knowledge:
- Interest in medical technology and simulation
- C++ programming
- Basic knowledge of CFD
- Basic knowledge of lattice Boltzmann
Type:
Diploma or Master thesis
Status:
in process
