RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Research overview

Blood flow in the human system is highly complicated. Abnormal hemodynamics is related to many severe diseases and has intrigued a growing of fluid dynamic researches over decades. However, due to the complexity of transient flow and fluid-structure interaction, many aspects of aortic hemodynamics have not been extensively understood. Quantitative experimental measurements of hemodynamics will help to improve our current understanding regarding pathology of certain heart diseases and brain aneurysms, assist with improved medical device design, and provide validation benchmarks for patient-specific computer simulations.
