[KIAS] Analysis, PDE & Probability Seminar
- 2019-07-15
KIAS (Korea Institute for Advanced Study) will hold a APP (Analysis, PDE & Probability) regular seminar. Please participate a lot.
o Title: 「A Heart Simulation using the Immersed Boundary Method」
o Date: 2019. 07. 19. (Fri) 15:00-17:30
o Venue: KIAS (Korea Institute for Advanced Study) Room 1424
o Speaker: Wanho Lee (NIMS)
o Abstract: In this talk, we present a mathematical and computational model of combining the heart and circulatory system to understand the hemodynamics of circulation under normal conditions and ventricular septal defect (VSD). The immersed boundary method has been introduced to describe the interaction between the moving two-dimensional heart and intracardiac blood flow. The whole-heart model is governed by the Navier-Stokes system; this system is combined with a multi-compartment model of circulation using pressure-flow relations and the linearity of the discretized Navier-Stokes system. We investigate the velocity field, flowmeters, and pressure-volume loop in both normal and VSD cases. Simulation results show qualitatively good agreements with others found in the literature. This model, combining the heart and circulation, is useful for understanding the complex, hemodynamic mechanisms involved in normal circulation and cardiac diseases.
