Development of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) solver for cardiovascular disease: Aneurysm

Research type: Junior Research Fellowship work
Advisor: Prof Trushar B Gohil

• The project was funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Government of India.

Contributions

• Implemented the hyperelastic material models, namely, Neo Hookean and Mooney Rivlin models, in the foam extended version of open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver openFOAM.
• Compared the effect of various vasculature material properties in simulating aneurysm conditions in a patient-specific geometry.
