ABSTRACT

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a specialist technique to simulate and analyse fluid flow and associated phenomena, using computer-based simulation. CFD has great potential for calculation of haemodynamic parameters and correlation to various cardiovascular diseases. In this talk, Dr Amir Keshmiri will give an overview of some of the latest projects in his research group, with emphasis on the development of advanced cardiovascular medical devices inspired by the nuclear industry and other patient-specific modelling tools and methods which contribute to the fight against cardiovascular diseases.
