The objective of this project is to develop a novel method to model fluid-structure interactions and turbulence in cardiovascular systems. The cardiovascular system is essential in providing nutrient and waste transport throughout the body. Because blood vessels and red blood cells are flexible, they are subjected to large deformations with significant effects on physiological functions such as blood distribution and oxygen release. Fluid-structure interactions are critical for understanding the intricacies of such systems but it is still a challenge to model these systems realistically using numerical methods. Expected outcomes of the project include better simulations of three-dimensional fluid-structure interactions and improved understanding of the behaviours of biological systems.

本项目的目标是开发一种新的方法来模拟心血管系统中的流固相互作用和湍流。心血管系统在向全身输送营养和废物方面起着至关重要的作用。由于血管和红细胞具有弹性，因此它们会发生较大的变形，对血液分布和氧气释放等生理功能产生重大影响。流固相互作用对于理解此类系统的复杂性至关重要，但使用数值方法对这些系统进行实际建模仍然是一个挑战。该项目的预期成果包括更好地模拟三维流体-结构相互作用和提高对生物系统行为的理解。
