Hemodynamics in the thoracic aorta using OpenFOAM: 4D PCMRI versus CFD

Abstract

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 deSistemas Oleohidricos y Neumcos). Speciffically, the study aims to compute the shear stress that blood causes to aorta walls.
