POWRE: Use of Chimera Grids for Numerical Studies of Flow in an Arterial Bifurcation

摘要建议编号：CTS-9870488首席研究员：A.Robertson A POWRE奖。这项工作将研究在粘性流动的数值计算中使用嵌合体网格，在粘性流动中边界随时间移动和变形。该方法将用于研究包括脑动脉瘤在内的动脉分叉处的流动，以及粘弹性流体的研究。这项POWRE奖将使PI有可能通过开发可应用于粘弹性流体流动以及动脉瘤的发起和发展的专业知识来调整她的研究方向。

ABSTRACT Proposal Number: CTS-9870488 Principal Investigator: A. Robertson A POWRE Award. The work will study the use of Chimera grids in the numerical computation of viscous flows in which the boundaries move and deform with time. The method will be applied to the study of flow in an arterial bifurcation which includes a cerebral aneurysm and in the study of viscoelastic fluids. This POWRE award will make it possible for the PI to redirect her research by developing expertise which can be applied to flows of viscoelastic fluids and in the initiatation and development of aneurysms.
