What is Complutational Fluid Dynamics
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a method of simulating and analyzing fluid flow through numerical methods and algorithms. By creating virtual models, CFD allows engineers and scientists to predict how gases and liquids behave in various scenarios, overall optimizing designs of medical devices.
Our Model
Our model analyzes the flow dynamics that occur in the left atrium region to better understand the disease and flow patterns for the futre development of medical devices as well treatment options. By analyzing different patient anatomies we are able to gain a broader understanding of the disease and its role in stroke cases. The developed anatomy and CFD models can be utilized by engineers to aid in the product development process for testing purposes to understand how their device would interact in a patient. Furthermore, the ability of the model to accurately simulate the hemodynamics allows for possible simulation of the disease under various circumstances, such as the effects of Anticoagulants.
