The aim of this work is the study of fluid dynamics models using the CFD software
OpenFOAM, an open source software allowing meshing, manipulation, simulation
and post-processing of many problems involving fluid mechanics.
The work consists of a study with OpenFOAM of a real engineering problem, namely
to analyze hemodynamics in the thoracic aorta in collaboration with CIMNE (Centre
Internacional de Metodes Numerics a l'Enginyeria) and LABSON-UPC (Laboratorio de
Sistemas Oleohidricos y Neumcos). Speci cally, the study aims to compute the
shear stress that blood causes to aorta walls.
