Mathematical Modeling and Simulations in Hemodynamics:

Prof. Adélia Sequeira, University of Lisbon, Portugal

Mathematical modeling and numerical simulations can provide an invaluable tool for the interpretation and analysis of the circulatory system functionality, in both pathological and healthy situations. However, although many substantial achievements have been made, most of the difficulties are still on the ground and represent major challenges for the coming years.

In this talk we introduce some mathematical models of the cardiovascular system and comment on their significance to yield realistic and accurate numerical results. They include fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models to account for blood flow in compliant vessels, analysis of absorbing boundary conditions to deal with the numerical spurious reflections due to the truncation of the computational domain and the geometrical multiscale approach to simulate the reciprocal interactions between local and systemic hemodynamics. Results on the simulation of some image-based patient-specific clinical applications will also be presented.
