Blood flow simulation

Various simulations (using Boltzmann lattice simulation and boundary integral methods) are performed for single cell, low and high hematocrit, in simple and complex geometries, such as those that mimic real vascular networks.  Special emphasis is placed on the formation of blood aggregates (due to plasma proteins) and the determination of blood occlusion events. Artificial intelligence based codes are also used to detect and classify blood clusters and emboli. We are also studying a fundamental question: the extraction of local constitutive laws of blood flow.
