Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will acquire the theoretical and numerical knowledge and basic tools for understanding the bio-fluid dynamics phenomena that occur both in the circulatory system (arteries, veins, heart) and in the main biomedical devices. The course will allow the student to create one-, two- and three-dimensional models of the main components of the cardiovascular system.
Course contents
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS
-What is CFD (Computational Fluid-Dynamics)
-Equations (Navier Stokes)
- Eulerian method of discretization of the 2nd time order (control volume)
-Mesh for the fluid part
FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION
- "Solid" part modeling equations (solid mechanics):
-Classical elliptic equation (2nd temporal and spatial order)
- Hooke's law
-HYPERELASTIC models (Saint Venant – Kirchhoff model)
-Fluid-structure interaction:
-Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE)
-MONOLITHIC SOLUTORS: direct fluid-structure coupling (only 1 computational domain)
BLOOD FLUID DYNAMICS:
-Laminar motion and turbulent motion
-Viscosity (Newton's law)
-Newtonian fluids
-Non-Newtonian fluids
-Blood
-Rheology of blood
-The cardiovascular system
