Advanced mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of blood flow: from the microscale to the macroscale

在拟议的项目中，我们的目标是建立在我们的研究成果，在过去五年的血液流变学领域提供一个详细的流变学描述的体外血流所有的方式从那些在大直径血管（宏观尺度，连续或微观宏观描述）的微血管（微观尺度，离散建模方法）。我们的目标是能够一致地描述中等大小的血管中的流动（c。直径100微米）。我们将继续致力于实验验证，只要有可能，我们的定量预测。

In the proposed project we aim to build on our research achievements in the area of haemorheology over the past five years to provide a detailed rheological description of in vitro blood flows all the way from those in large diameter vessels (macroscale, continuum or micro-macro description) to those in the microvasculature (microscale, discrete modelling methods). We aim to be able to consistently describe flows in vessels of intermediate size (c. 100 microns in diameter) using either approach. We will continue our commitment to the experimental validation, wherever possible, of our quantitative predictions.
